Multi-Sectoral
Inclusive and Collaborative.
Poverty is a massive, multi-faceted problem that no single organization can solve on its own. This is why GK works with all sectors without judgment, harnessing the innate goodness of people and organizations who often want to give but do not know how, or have not found an organization that they can trust. Our experience has shown that there is no absence of caring and generosity in the world – people are simply looking for credible organizations.
GK works to unleash everyone’s potential and capacity to participate in the great task of nation-building. It is only by working together in the spirit of bayanihan (being a hero to one another) that we can find a lasting and sustainable solution to the complex issue of poverty. Anyone can volunteer their time, share their talents or provide resources. Every contribution matters, every help is significant.
Leveraging
Creative leveraging allows us to multiply resources given by our partners. For instance, a dollar donated for the materials to build a house triggers a counterpart value in “sweat equity” from the beneficiaries, professional services from volunteer architects and engineers, and dedicated community organizing and program implementation by the Caretaker teams. The initial contribution also inspires many others to do their part by mobilizing other volunteers, donating schools, clinics and livelihood centers as their contribution to building the houses.
We estimate that every dollar given for GK translates to four dollars delivered to the poor because of GK’s ability to leverage your contribution with other resources that are triggered once you give.
