Helping Hongkongers in the pandemic

5 April, 2022 by Expat Living 2 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/new-world-share-for-good-crowd-donation-platform-hong-kong/

To say that Hong Kong has been doing it tough with COVID-19 this year would be an understatement! And the hard times have prompted New World Development (NWD) to launch a new large-scale crowd-donation platform to help those in need. “Share for Good” aims to connect donors and beneficiaries in innovative ways to provide anti-pandemic resources to all corners of the city. Here are five things to know about this very welcome service.

New World Share for Good crowd-donation platform

#1 Sharing via an app and online

Available as both a mobile app and a website service, Share for Good is an open platform that welcomes all Hong Kong individuals, groups and corporations to participate in charity action.

#2 A focus on the important things

After researching the urgent needs of target beneficiaries, NWD and participating organisations compiled a list of the 13 most-needed items. These include COVID testing kits, food coupons, supermarket vouchers and learning materials, among others. 

#3 Long list of participating NGOs

Plenty of non-profit organisations and social enterprises have been invited to participate in the initial phase of Share for Good. Key partners include Yan Chai Hospital, LALAMOVE and over 30 other NGOs.

#4 A focus on the truly needy

Target beneficiaries of the service include low-income families, those living in subdivided units, elderly people on their own, young cancer patients, mentally-handicapped and disabled people, the homeless and ethnic minorities. 

#5 Good news for donors

Aside from being a completely free service to use, it’s also efficient. After registering as a donor, you can browse through the overall needs list and the requests from each NGO on the app or website. You can then choose to make in-kind donations, or cash donations. If you choose in-kind donations, the platform will match you with your selected non-profit organisations directly, for donation and delivery arrangements. 

New World is taking the lead by donating 200,000 items through the platform.  

Keen to help?

Visit the Share For Good website for more information, shareforgoodhk.com; you can also download the mobile app for iPhone or Android.
