About the organisation
Starfish was founded in 2004 with a mission to provide medical treatments and feeding homes to orphans in mainland China. We focus on providing meaningful support and resources to underprivileged children in Hong Kong. Poverty is serious in Hong Kong: nearly every one in five children in Hong Kong is living in poverty. Underprivileged children stuck in poverty cycle: Children who grow up in low-income households tend to have less access to opportunities and therefore are more likely to remain poor in adulthood. Compounded with the lack of space in Hong Kong, underprivileged children are deprived of an environment where they can learn and develop happily and healthily. More than just formal education is needed: The Hong Kong government provides basic subsidies for school fees and supplies, but these are not sufficient. Underprivileged children are often unable to participate in the extra-curricular activities and outdoor activities that develop skills such as resilience and confidence, and ultimately enhance social mobility. It is Starfish’s mission to close the opportunity gap by providing much needed opportunities to underprivileged children in Hong Kong. We do not believe that the underprivileged should ‘lose at starting line’. Starfish’s goal is to close the opportunity gap and equalize opportunities. We strongly believe every child is worth investing in, and only if we invest in our children we can drive societal changes and create a more harmonious society.
