Going Global - Tony Meloto (Philippines)

Tony Meloto, Gawad Kalinga

26-Aug-16 10:00

Going Global - Tony Meloto (Philippines)

Tony Meloto, the driving force behind Philippines-based project Gawad Kalinga, is a world renowned figure in the ongoing battle against poverty. His strong sentiments on the segmentation of society and the impact it creates on the needy makes him a voice among the voiceless, and an influential component in the steady process of eradicating poverty and discrimination for good. We speak to the man himself about the power of a self-sustaining financial ecosystem, the challenges of establishing such a system, and where Gawad Kalinga is headed in the next few years.
