The Hong Kong Federation of Women's Centres is a registered charity organization. Donations of HK$100 or above are eligible for charitable tax receipts.
The Women's Centre has been serving for over 40 years, focusing on the living conditions of grassroots women, promoting gender equality, and empowering women to build confidence, autonomy, and self-reliance. Due to traditional norms, women are often seen as "natural caregivers"
, and while fulfilling their caregiving roles, they often sacrifice their personal development.
The Women's Centre provides community childcare services and after-school care services, aiming to provide space and opportunities for grassroots women to work, pursue further education, and start their businesses. The services cover areas such as Tai Wo, Wah Fu in Aberdeen, Fanling, Sheung Shui, and more, benefiting over 10,000 individuals each year! Our services go beyond regular "childcare" as we also organize various extracurricular activities to ensure that children participating in our services have opportunities to learn and broaden their horizons, regardless of their family's economic conditions.
We rely on your donations to sustain our services. Make your running more meaningful
Before donating, please email fundraising@womencentre.org.hk or call 2153 3153 to inform us and confirm the slot availability!
