KICKSTART YOUR IDEAS WITH US!

The Knowledge and Innovation Challenge for Change (KICK) is a nationwide initiative launched by the Peace and Equity Foundation (PEF) to highlight the transformative power of knowledge and innovation in building a more inclusive and sustainable Philippines.

real-world solutions and forward-looking ideas that inspire learning, replication, and action across the country.

Two Tracks, One Goal: Impact

Proven

Real-world, implemented solutions demonstrating measurable impact with readiness for scale and replication.

Emerging

Early-stage concepts, prototypes, or innovative ideas with clear potential for social impact that need to be tested or launched.
