Austria Triplets
Fighting Global Poverty
​Who are the Austria Triplets?

The Austria Triplets are Emilio, Mateo and Lorenzo Austria. They were Triplets born to Marlon & Brandi Austria. Due to complications during their mother's pregnancy, the triplets were born prematurely at 22 weeks on March 7, 2011. Born prematurely, the boys were not able to survive and passed away 5 hours after they were born.

​What is our purpose?

​With the tragic loss of their Triplets (Emilio, Mateo and Lorenzo), Marlon & Brandi Austria are very blessed to share their purpose with family and friends. The Austrias' purpose is to help poverty stricken individuals by offering them a better way of life. Marlon & Brandi wish to honor their boys in a very special way. They plan to build three homes per year for three families involved in Gawad Kalinga (GK). Each one of the homes will be named after each of their boys.

What is Gawad Kalinga?
​
In March 2007, Marlon & Brandi were introduced to GK by Tony Olaes. GK is a Philippine based anti-poverty and nation building movement. GK actively works in poverty-stricken areas, by first, befriending the poor and teaching them how to love God and Country. Secondly, GK encourages them to literally rebuild their houses and their resources with the aim of becoming self-sufficient. GK promotes "land for the landless, homes for the homeless, and food for the hungry".

​Eugene Amano - Gawad Kalinga Village
​
On March 1, 2013, Marlon & Brandi received a phone call from a good friend, Eugene Amano. Eugene is the only full-blooded Filipino playing in the NFL. They met Eugene in 2009 at a Gawad Kalinga (GK) Summit in Boston, MA. Since their initial meeting, they became friends and kept in touch via Facebook and GK. Eugene has done very well for himself and is a role model to many Filipinos and Filipino Americans.

Eugene called them because he had just recently returned from the Philippines and was planning to build a GK Village in honor of his grand parents. GK is a Philippine based anti-poverty and nation building movement.
