Why did you start Hanuman Charity?

I have always been part of several charities since my younger age and growing up I felt it was my duty to help others in need where I could. When the pandemic struck Hong Kong, my thoughts immediately went to the many people living on the streets who were especially vulnerable. Along with my two daughters, I decided to establish Hanuman Charity, with the aim of helping to feed the city’s homeless and underprivileged during this difficult time.

How does it work?

Six times a week, we hold Charity Walks in various city districts, distributing freshly prepared food bags to those in need. We also arrange visits to elderly homes twice a month, delivering necessities such as snacks and other activities.

What do volunteers do? How can people get involved?

Volunteers are able to help us in several ways. We need help preparing and packing up meals and distributing the prepared food bags. We also welcome food donations, as well as monetary contributions.

Volunteers can reach us through our social media pages or WhatsApp to get involved with the work we do.

Can you share a success story that you are particularly proud of?

I am honoured that during a period of such isolation, we were still able to build connections across the community. Not just with the homeless and underprivileged but also with our growing volunteer network. More specifically, for the last two winters we have arranged a winter clothing drive to help provide warm clothes and blankets to those in need living on the streets.

Despite the many waves of COVID-19 that Hong Kong has experienced, we as a charity have been going strong and will continue to help as many people as we can. We estimate that we have been able to provide more than 650 meals weekly, and that is something we plan to continue if we can.

Additionally, being brought up in Hong Kong and knowing the local language has made me build strong and meaningful connections between the needy and underprivileged community which helps us progress and improve our society to help them more!
