Food Commons Foundation Limited

Environment and AnimalsPublic and Societal Benefit

Food Commons Foundation is a tax-exempt charity dedicated to tackling the problem of excessive leftover food and its social, environmental, and economic consequences. Our primary goal is to collect edible surplus food from sources such as markets and retailers, reducing landfill pressure and environmental pollution while redistributing nutritious food to those in need. We also explore innovative food up-cycling solutions to maximize the value of rescued food. By linking social welfare and environmental organizations, government, and the business sector, the Foundation strives to reduce waste, support communities, and create green job opportunities. We remain committed to a community-oriented approach, encouraging broad participation beyond a single funding source, and aim to extend food recovery efforts to all 18 districts of Hong Kong. Food Commons is the community-based resource network under the Foundation, fostering long-term collaboration among action groups, businesses, government, and public organizations to manage surplus food effectively. Since its beginnings as the Food Sharing Project in 2009, Food Commons has pioneered food recovery initiatives that combine environmental protection with community mutual aid. Operating as Food Commons Foundation Limited since 2015, we have rescued more than 11,373 metric tons of edible food, benefiting over 10.07 million people. Every HK$1 donation generates HK$6.5 worth of fresh food, supporting hundreds of grassroots families and elderly each week. With shifting government policies and the conclusion of our market recovery project, continued community support is critical to sustain this safety net and prevent fresh food from being discarded.

Waste management is failing in Hong Kong. Trash is littered across out streets, our beautiful country parks and our beautiful beaches. We only have one planet.

Green Hour's mission is to put an end to this nightmare through direct action. Alone, we cannot make a big difference, but together, we can make waves. By 2030, our target is to put an end to the trash issue in this city by: - Spreading a message of hope through engaging events and activities - Collecting data from cleanups and surveys to push for change - Pushing for better management of streets whilst working to support cleaners.

Splash Foundation Limited

Human Services

We believe everyone should have an opportunity to learn how to swim. It is a life skill that empowers and connects people. Teaching people to swim and to be safe around water is what we do. But why we do it is to share the joy of swimming with thousands of people who have never had the opportunity to learn. And for many, swim lessons are financially out of reach. That is a problem we wanted to address. So, in 2015 we started Splash, Hong Kong's only charitable organisation teaching people from under-resourced communities how to swim. We currently teach migrant domestic workers and local kids, ages 7-16 from low-income families including kids with special needs. Swimming is different from other sports. Our participants learn a skill that might save their life one day. But it's more than that. They also develop confidence in overcoming something that is scary at first and they join a supportive community, both of which impacts their mental well being too. Since 2015, we have taught nearly 3,000 people how to swim. Splash has created a popular and engaging 12 hour (1 hour per week) learn-to-swim programme, teaching water safety skills, propulsion and water confidence; 9 out of 10 people who start the programme complete the programme. Our curriculum is effective and efficient. At the end of the programme 88% of participants can swim 25 meters. We've trained 200+ volunteer coaches. The Splash Beginner programme focuses on mastering essential skills for water safety, water confidence, and basic forms of forward propulsion. Over the course of 12 instructional hours, our objective-driven lessons emphasize three key areas: balance and buoyancy, breath control, and calm, controlled movements. The curriculum follows a logical skill progression that makes learning to swim fun, manageable, and empowering. Many of our participants experience fears or anxiety about being in water. Others don’t exercise regularly. Some live in extremely stressful environments. As volunteer swim coaches, we see people flourish in and out of the water. Self-esteem increases as participants overcome challenges, learn a life skill, and become a ‘swimmer’. Physical and mental well-being builds as participants realise the water environment can be an oasis from the harsh humdrum of the city. The swimming pool becomes a place of joyful recreation. Horizons widen with many of our participants continuing to swim in groups at their local pools, competing in open water swim races, or returning to their families with a skill and knowledge to pass on to loved ones. Underpinning all of what we do is a sense of community. Splash brings people together, building bonds between people and giving our participants a sense of belonging. In a world increasingly divided, our work reminds us that young or old, Hong Kong Chinese, Filipino or Indonesian; we’re all just human and are not so different in a swim cap and goggles.

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.

Home for homeless dog Company Limited

Environment and Animals

儘管香港有很多愛護動物的主人，但香港仍有很多流浪動物默默地忍受著顛沛流離、饑腸轆轆的日子，更有動物受重傷、被棄養，甚至被人虐待。有見及此，浪浪之家致力為這些因悲痛過去以致身體或性格有缺憾的動物提供一個「家」，讓牠們也能快樂地生活。 浪浪之家 (Home for Homeless Dog) 成立於2019年，並坐落於大埔一個偏遠村落。創辦人 April 自幼喜愛狗隻，為建設一個狗狗的安樂窩，毅然辭職賣樓斥資興建狗舍，全心全意地照顧流浪狗，並為牠們嚴選合適的領養者，希望可憐的狗隻能開心過活。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Despite having many animal-loving owners in Hong Kong, there are still numerous stray animals silently enduring a life of uncertainty and hunger. Some animals suffer from severe injuries, abandonment, and even abuse. In response to this situation, Home for Homeless Dog is dedicated to providing a "home" for these animals who have experienced a painful past, resulting in physical or behavioral challenges, allowing them to live happily. Established in 2019, Home for Homeless Dog is located in a remote village in Tai Po. The founder, April, has had a love for dogs since childhood. Determined to create a haven for dogs, she resigned from her job and sold her property to build a shelter. April wholeheartedly cares for stray dogs and carefully selects suitable adopters, hoping to provide a joyful life for these unfortunate animals.

Bring in Change Limited

Human Services

We believe in setting authentic goals and sharing them widely to connect with people around us. Communication and connections are the tools and our most valuable resources. We want to be inspired and get excited. Honesty, trust, personal responsibility keeps us accountable. Bring in Change aims to improve the elderly’s mental, physical and social health through sports. We have been in contact with the elderly during the pandemic, delivering essential items to them and witnessed the significant deterioration of their mental and physical well-being, especially some of them have lost their better half under the fifth wave of covid-19 in the past two to three months. We hope, with the participation of sports trainers and volunteers, to bring new experiences to the elderly and lift them up again during this difficult time, so that they will be ageing well. Exercise is undoubtedly the simplest way to keep us happy and healthy. Yet the elderly has been staying at home most of the time these two years, not only are they lack of physical activities, they are over worried and depressed about the current situation, having difficulties to access updated information and understand the regulations they need to follow in the society. Most of us train in the gym, do bootcamps, run on road or off trail and participate in different kinds of sports on a regular bases to keep our body and mind fit. Why don’t we spend some time to do it together with the elderly, build relationship with them and help them improve their life style for active ageing? We aim to serve elderly of different strength levels: sedentary, lightly active and active old people. We will provide them with different levels of trainings, which aim to improve their muscle strength, coordination and body balance, in order to avoid accidents and injuries. The project will link up experienced sport coaches, trainers, running coaches and sports lovers in the community to serve the elderly. We believe that, as sports lovers ourselves, it is easier to build up a friendly long-term relationship with the elderly through sports. Besides sports, we would like to organize photo shooting sessions for the elderly, during which we will talk about death planning with them, and take cheerful photos for them which can later be used as their funeral portrait. We believe that every one, regardless of the age, should have a photo that they love that can be presented in their funeral. Some elderly may not have a chance to take photos, not to mention a proper portrait, or some have never taken photos with their family. It would be a good opportunity for them and for their family to think about death together, to prepare well and in a way that they prefer.

Kirsten's Zoo Limited

Environment and Animals

Kirsten’s Zoo was started by Kirsten Mitchell in 2008 as a response to a number of factors, in particular the need to have a centralised point of contact on Hong Kong Island to help home cats and dogs, as well as other animals in need. In the beginning she funded most of her endeavours out of her own pocket and with the kind assistance of friends and likeminded people. However, in the past few years, we received money from the government which helps with our ever-growing expenses. Her dedication and commitment have meant that hundreds of animals have been successfully homed over the last 20+ years. She has always depended on the financial kindness of animal lovers to help her continue to do what she does and took the decision to found a charity with a view to widening her efforts to help more animals and educating the general public in animal welfare. In the last 5 years we have seen an increase in animals being abandoned and a decrease in sponsors and funding. Many factors have contributed to this, one is the poor breeding in China influx to Hong Kong and the migration to other countries following COVID.
