More Than a Roof:
The Next Chapter of Empowerment for
GK Families
For over 20 years, Gawad Kalinga has stood for more than just shelter — it has stood for hope. We’ve helped thousands of Filipino families rise out of poverty by building homes and restoring dignity.
But a home is only the beginning.
What sustains dignity is the ability to work, to provide, and to dream.
This is why Handy was born.
​
Handy is Gawad Kalinga’s partner program that offers stable and dignified livelihood to trained Service Providers from GK communities. Today, these skilled providers serve homes and offices across Metro Manila — as cleaners, plumbers, caregivers, and handymen — while providing for their own families. Every time you book a Handy service, you're not just hiring help — you're helping sustain Filipino dignity.
Handy is more than a service app — it’s a mission.
"I once received a home from Gawad Kalinga. Today, through Handy, I am able to send my child to school."
Maria, Handy Service Provider & GK Resident
At the core of Handy’s mission is Gawad Kalinga — a movement that believes in ending poverty, not simply alleviating it.
​
For over two decades, Gawad Kalinga has built communities where families find not just a house, but a home filled with dignity, hope, and opportunity.​ Handy is GK’s natural next step — creating dignified work for the same families whose homes were built through GK’s mission.
​
Through Handy, the story continues.
From building homes… to building livelihoods.
From shelter… to self-sufficiency.
From survival… to thriving.
