Human ♥ Nature was created by Anna Meloto-Wilk and Camille Meloto, two of the daughters of Tony Meloto, founder of Gawad Kalinga (GK). GK has already transformed more than 2,000 slums in the Philippines and in world into beautiful, peaceful communities that are on their way to becoming productive too.
Gawad Kalinga is recognized globally 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 our products. We make sure that our ingredients can be sustainably grown in the Philippines by local farmers who are able to produce ingredients that meet international standards.
Through our partnership with Gawad Kalinga, we hope that soon there will be hundreds of world-class community organic farms in the Philippines providing livelihood for thousands of our poorest people as we raise them up to be world-class Filipinos.
