Gandang Kalikasan Inc and HumanHeartNature were created by Anna M.Wilk and Camille Meloto, two of the daughters of Tony Meloto, founder of Gawad Kalinga (GK). GK has already transformed more than 1700 slums in the Philippines into beautiful, peaceful communities that are on their way to becoming productive too.
Gawad Kalinga is recognized globaly as a world class Filipino movement for nation building by everyone from Harvard University to the National Institute of Education in Singapore. GK won the Magsaysay Award, Asia’s Nobel Prize in 2006.
Our vision is that as soon as GK villages are capable of producing our ingredients to the highest standards, we will equip and empower them to grow and process what we need for the HumanHeartNature range. Right now, our ingredients come only from organic farmers in the Philippines who are able to produce to international standards. So every product you buy is directly supporting our country already.
Through our partnership with Gawad Kalinga, we hope that soon there will be 100s of world-class community organic farms in the Philippines providing livelihood for 1000s of our poorest people as we raise them up to be world-class Filipinos.
