Hong Kong Seagull Scholarship Limited

EducationHuman Services

Hong Kong Seagull Scholarship was established by Mr. Lo Yuk Tong, Executive Advisor of The Toys Manufacturers' Association of HK. His idea originated during a visit to Gansu Hope School project activities in 1998.During his time there he heard that a university student had fainted in class and he learned that she had been selling her blood in order to pay for her studies. This touched Mr. Lo’s heart and on his return to Hong Kong he was determined he would do something to help students in similar situations. He set up “Seagulls” which is a voluntary organization to collect funds to provide grants for impoverished students in China to complete their studies and prepare them for a worthwhile place in society. Purpose: The aim of the "Seagull" group is intended to motivate students in poor areas to be like the seagulls bird, fearless with a strong spirit and constantly striving for ideals. Together with this the passing through of love for students with the action called "little candles" which brings warmth and light. The assisted student with ability can enjoy helping others by passing on the candlelight, a flame burning with flourishing spirit forever, so that more students can complete their studies.

Uplifters Limited

Human Services

A scary reality awaits the millions of Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs) in South-East Asia. Most, originally from the Philippines, Indonesia, and India, migrate for financial reasons; to provide a better future for themselves, their families, and the children they have to leave behind. Unfortunately, the majority fail to save, and many return home more impoverished than when they left. How can we help make the migration successful? This question prompted us to create Uplifters, www.uplifters-edu.org, in March 2018. We are the leading organization providing online education and community support to migrant domestic workers in Asia. Our signature online course, Dare to Dream, equips these workers to manage their finances effectively, prepare for the future, and improve their mental well-being. Since our inception in 2018, more than 9,500 migrant domestic workers have participated in our courses, with 83% reporting transformative changes in their lives. Beyond Dare to Dream, we offer a wide range of online courses designed to support domestic workers throughout their entire migration journey. This includes vocational training (e.g., baby care, basic caregiving skills), health and mental well-being courses (e.g., women’s health, parenting from afar), and courses to prepare for reintegration (e.g., micro-enterprise training). Our courses are facilitated by a team of more than 100 domestic workers, all Uplifters alumni who volunteer to support fellow domestic workers. The biggest challenge with online education is to get students to complete their courses. The average completion rate in the industry is ~5% (Reich & Ruipérez-Valiente, 2019) Thanks to our alumni team leaders, over 45% of our students have completed our course Dare to Dream. This is 5 to 10 times more than online education standards and especially remarkable as we are targeting an underprivileged community. MDWs use mostly basic smartphones to access the internet and have limited digital literacy and time off. In a nutshell, our goal is to combine width and depth and deliver highly impactful programmes to as many people as possible.

Migrasia Global Solutions Limited

Human ServicesInternational and Foreign Affairs

Every year throughout Asia millions of men and women immigrate to find work needed to support their families. This migration process is fraught with challenges, many of which are initiated by unethical and often illegal agency practices. Employment agencies are often legally required for the migration process. But rather than representing the best interests of the migrant worker and the eventual employer, these agencies often manipulate the process for their own selfish interest. This can leave the workers in significant debt, can lead to exploitation, and often leaves the employer without a suitable employee match. Migrasia is a non-profit making online platform hoping to end unethical agency practices, and professionalize the migrant labor placement process. Our platform allows both workers and employers to rate and comment on their respective employment agencies. We hope to professionalise the migrant labour placement process by bringing transparency to agency practices, both good and bad. We are dedicated to promoting a fair recruitment process for migrant workers, and to ensuring employers find the right match for their families. Exploitation of domestic workers is a major social concern in Hong Kong and throughout Asia. These workers make up nearly 4% of HK's population, and nearly 10% of HK's working population, making them vital to the success of HK's economy. Because of HK's ageing population, more migrant laborers will be needed in the coming years. Migrasia will provide a transparent pathway for migration, both for employer and employee. Labour migration is going to continue to grow throughout Asia, making Migrasia essential. Migrasia: Rate, Review, Reform!
