Gawad Kalinga Ateneo Unveils Success in Building Communities at the 2nd Socialized Housing Summit

At the 2nd Socialized Housing Summit, Ms. Norlie Corneby of Gawad Kalinga Ateneo shared a profound narrative of community transformation and resilience, illustrating the organization’s triumphs in socialized housing. Held on March 18-19, 2024, at the Ateneo de Manila University, the summit, organized by the Ateneo Center for Social Entrepreneurship (ACSent) and Social Enterprise Development Partnerships Inc. (SEDPI), provided a platform for stakeholders to discuss the critical issues surrounding socialized housing in the Philippines.

 

Gawad Kalinga’s journey in community building, as presented by Ms. Corneby, showcased various successful projects across the nation, including Payatas Trese Blue Eagle Village in Quezon City, Kalayaan Village in Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija, and several others in Cavite and Nueva Ecija. Each project highlighted Gawad Kalinga’s commitment to not only provide homes but also foster communities where dignity, safety, and hope flourish.

 

A pivotal aspect of Gawad Kalinga’s approach, as detailed in the presentation, is the meticulous family screening and qualifying process, ensuring that the benefits reach those who need them most. This process is rooted in a deep understanding of the beneficiaries’ circumstances, aspirations, and potential to contribute to the community’s growth.

 

Values formation stands at the core of Gawad Kalinga’s mission, underpinning the belief that sustainable development transcends the physical construction of houses. Through various programs, residents engage in activities that nurture values of responsibility, community, and shared purpose. The essence of “Bayanihan,” or communal unity and cooperation, was underscored as a key ingredient in the success of each project, demonstrating that the spirit of collective effort can overcome substantial challenges.

 

Ms. Corneby’s presentation vividly captured the transformative power of socialized housing when coupled with a holistic approach to community development. By integrating values formation and leveraging the Bayanihan spirit, Gawad Kalinga Ateneo has not only built houses but has also rekindled hope and catalyzed positive change in marginalized communities.

 

The 2nd Socialized Housing Summit served as an eye-opening reminder of the impactful work being done across the Philippines to address housing needs. Gawad Kalinga Ateneo’s experience provided attendees with invaluable insights into the potential of socialized housing projects to transform lives and landscapes.
