About Sagip

SAGIP (which means "to save a life" in the Filipino language)

GK (Gawad Kalinga "to give care) provides a support program for street children of elementary age, from 7 to 13 years old. They are provided with academic tutorials, sports and creative workshops as well as a very solid values formation program. The average elementary school classroom has about 75-100 children, a not-so-conducive environment for learning. SAGIP is a support program for children who are currently enrolled in school but need to explore and discover their talents. It also provides a tutorial program to help augment the public school system.
