The Community Impact Assessment Survey (CIAS) started with a dream of capturing the awe-inspiring stories of each GK community and to make sure that the next generation would never forget the stories of transformation that brought their community to where they are today. The "before" and "after" photos of each community may be inspiring, but they pale in comparison to the colorful and compelling stories of the individuals, families and communities whose lives took a 180 degree turn for the better when GK came.
And because GK's dream is to inspire, engage and involve more, the Foundation embarked on a dream project together with Skoll Foundation, the Institute for Philippine Culture and other reputable universities in the Philippines to capture the data of EACH family and capture the stories of transformation in each community as they journey out of poverty.
TOP 10 BELIEFS AND PRACTICES THAT GK RESIDENTS OBSERVE IN THEIR SELVES, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY

In partnership with Skoll Foundation, the Institute for Philippine Culture and 57 schools nationwide, we embarked on a nationwide census and community culture survey of each GK community. More than just understanding national figures, we wanted each community to understand and appreciate their own unique situation, discuss and discover better ways of doing things together, and for GK to help develop strategic interventions so each family can be on track in the roadmap out of poverty. |

The focused group discussions with residents gave us insight on the greatest changes that occurred in their lives since GK began. These listening exercises were done in 10 model communities nationwide to identify the indicators for the Community Culture Survey |

The Community Impact Assessment Study findings from each community were used as the basis of the Growth Map Planning. All over the country, GK residents gathered to map out the obstacles that may hinder their journey out of poverty as well as the strategies that they need to do to overcome it. |
