Helping Our Friends

When a friend is unemployed you help them to find a job. That is precisely the action that Christian Action is continually taking when it hosts job fairs, like the one we just hosted on February 21st at the Amoy Plaza in Kwun Tong.

Funded by the Employees Retraining Board (ERB), the Fair had roughly 1,000 visitors. At the booths they could search and apply for the perfect job, be interviewed and get instant results. There were a record number of 400 applicants, of which 100 received job offers that very day!

It’s Astonishing How Much We Do for Women

I love listening to feedback from first time visitors to Christian Action. They’ll say things like: ‘I had no idea that so many of your programmes are tailored specifically to women and children!’- and they are right!

The International Women’s Day was yesterday, and it made me reflect on how much we’ve done to recognize women’s achievements and serve and advocate for them.

Time Is Running Out - Join In To Win!

"My 15-year-old son means everything to me. He has a heart condition and I care for him in our 90 square foot subdivided unit. During the pandemic we couldn't afford healthy food and I was terrified that malnutrition would affect his heart.

Then Christian Action put us on their Emergency Food Programme beneficiaries list. Now we receive a monthly supply of rice, cooking oil and nutritious foods. My son's health is no longer at risk, I am no longer anxious and we can focus on rebuilding our lives. I am very grateful to Christian Action for helping us in our time of need."

Thank you note from a mother we helped in 2022.

Children Are Our Future

"My family and I came to Hong Kong when I was 10. I had a really hard time studying and talking with my classmates because everything was in Cantonese. I struggled to catch up and was always behind with my schoolwork.”

At Christian Action, we firmly believe that education is the key to helping individuals develop self-reliance and break free from poverty. That's why we are committed to supporting the educational needs of the families we serve.
