For GK Enchanted Farm, Ending Poverty is Its Business
Posted by Morgan St. Clair, Social Impact Communications Manager
Shanon Khadka lists them by name – Mae, Sarah, Sandra. They’re just a few of the many babies born in 2014, representing a beautiful first for many of the families who live on the GK Enchanted Farm in the Philippines, a nonprofit launched with the vision of ending poverty in the country by 2024.
“They were born into a family that wasn’t poor,” said the CEO and President of GK Enchanted Farm. “That’s a big deal.”
Those babies were evidence that, in just the four years since it opened, the impact of the unique space –a working farm community that includes homes and schools – was already being realized. The income of the 50 families that live on the farm, selling produce and related goods, has increased from PhP 3,000 per household per month to PhP 25,000. A full 100 percent of the children of the families are enrolled in school, and 75 percent are honor students.
