$10,000 Good Reasons!

This week I'm asking every reader in Hong Kong to please join Christian Action's $10,000 Reasons appeal on behalf of children in our great city.

They are the children who belong to refugee families, they are a part of ethnic minority communities, and they are children whose families live in sub-divided flats. They have all been hit very hard by the pandemic and the social unrest.

Christian Action's services to these disadvantaged groups were severely affected.

Today our fundraising income has plummeted by more than 70%.

As a self-financed NGO, this is undoubtedly our hardest time.

We are struggling, not only to provide crucial services, but also to sustain our services to vulnerable children.

These ethnic minority communities and refugee families and children whose families live in sub-divided flats do not have sufficient funding support.

I am appealing to you to please consider giving Christian Action all or part of your HK$10,000 government handout.

We are living in a time when the unemployment rate in Hong Kong is at 5.9% - the highest it has been for 15 years.

With your support, we will be able to do more to fill the service gap.

Thank you in anticipation of your help. You will be helping to make a difference in the lives of children and families in our city – where they are neighbours!
