Gawad Kalinga had a busy year this year. This year, during the GK1MB youth summit, various projects and new developments were revealed. A lot of these new developments have been a direct result of GK’s partnership with Voncore Philippines, an outsourcing company that is offering its services.

GK1MB
Gawad Kalinga unveiled some of its new goals during the historic Boston GK summit. It is aiming at getting a hold of one billion volunteer workers. This battalion of workers and volunteers aims is to destroy poverty forever. Gawad Kalinga, after removing poverty in the Philippines, plans to go global as the template third world countries should follow.

GK1world
The GK1world website has been launched and unveiled during the Boston GK Global Summit this year. The old GK website had many problems regarding the organization of GK sources and the transparency of fund allocation. Voncore created GK1world, and the results were so good that GK decided to migrate all the content from the old site to the new GK 1 world site. Now, it is already the official online portal of the organization. All updates are uploaded on GK1world website so it is the best source of information about the latest events and programs of Gawad Kalinga.

GK Unity
This new, Voncore project is going to revolutionize the way GK operates. This online software platform will enable volunteers from anywhere in the world register online and be a part of Gawad kalinga. It also promises to change the way pledges and donors are managed meaning more ease in donations and more transparency as to how the funds are allocated.

I believe that Gawad Kalinga Philippines is in the right track as a Global movement. It is very exciting for me to watch how all of its projects unfold especially in its quest to totally eradicate the problem of poverty in the Philippines and usher in the country into the first world.
