More than a Shelter Home

On 5 June 2025 we held an emotional and joyous celebration for the opening of our newly renovated shelter for Migrant Domestic Workers. When our staff and residents viewed the space, they were so dumbstruck that an awe filled hush came over everyone!

At the ‘house-warming’ event Judy*, one of our shelter residents, wept with joy and shared her feelings of safety, warmth, and her gratitude to the Migrant Domestic Workers Center for embracing her when she was at her most vulnerable.

Prevention is Better Than Cure

In the hustle and bustle of Yau Tsim Mong, many subdivided flats are hidden inside aging buildings. In one of these cramped rooms—barely large enough for a bed and a few belongings—lives Cassy (alias), a single mother struggling to raise her two children, trying to survive the harshness of life in Hong Kong.

When our social workers invited her to take the cervical cancer screening, Cassy hesitated. Why would she need cervical screening? She’d had only one partner—her ex-husband. In her mind, cancer was something that happened to other women, not her.

Flags of Strength: Diverse Personalities, Infinite Power

On a grey, overcast Saturday morning, the streets of the New Territories shimmered with something far brighter than the weather: Hope. Despite the cloudy skies, more than 1,000 volunteers—our service users, students, parents, retirees—gathered with joyful hearts for Christian Action’s Flag Day 2025 to raise funds for our life- changing programmes that serve underprivileged children, ethnic minorities, refugees, asylum seekers, and their families across Hong Kong.

Each volunteer held multiple sheets of Din-Dong-themed flags, adorned with cheerful illustrations of the beloved cartoon cat and his friends. Din-Dong’s motto, “Impossible is possible,” echoes the very heartbeat of Christian Action. We face challenges that often feel insurmountable, but with God’s grace and your support, we find strength to carry on.

10 Years Later: The Amazing Story of Dicky Wong

Ten years ago a fresh faced fifteen-year-old student named Dicky Wong came to Christian Action for help. Dicky lived with his family in a tiny, overcrowded apartment in one of Hong Kong’s poorest neighborhoods, and he desperately wanted to break free from poverty.

To help Dicky we placed him in our Children’s Development Fund (CDF) Programme where he received a personal development plan and all the support and guidance he needed to fulfill the plan. Most importantly, Dicky received his own personal mentor for the entirety of the program!

A Surgeon in the Making

Tam Kwong Ho, a graduate of the seventh batch of On Tai Service Centre’s Child Development Fund (CDF). From a young age, his parents instilled in him a deep appreciation for education. He is a model student with a burning passion to become a doctor. Throughout secondary school, he immersed himself completely in his studies—so committed that his bookshelves are lined not with comic books, but with volumes on anatomy, physiology, and human biology.

There were times when Kwong Ho felt confused about his journey of exploration and learning. Fortunately, Kwong Ho learnt to set various short-term goals for himself and gradually achieved them thanks to the encouragement and support from Christian Action, his family, and his mentor. His assigned mentor, Dicky Wong, a devoted social worker at On Tai, recommends Kwong Ho apply for the CASE Scholarship. His mentor motivated him to diligently strive for the necessary outcomes to secure his university admission.
