In the past decade, Rotary Club of Hong Kong Harbour has partnered with Amity Foundation HK, a registered charity in Hong Kong, to improve potable water access all over the world. This year, we are participating in Amity’s “Walk for Living Water 2021”.

The event has three goals:

(a) to encourage exercise during times of social distancing;

(b) to encourage better understanding of the scarcity of potable water around the world; and

(c) to raise money for water projects around the world in 2021-2022.

Our Rotary Club, together with our affiliate professional and philanthropy networks, managed to raise well over HK$100,000 for Amity’s water projects in 2020-2021, including in rural villages in Nepal, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines. Our Rotary Club aims to raise a similar amount in the coming weeks.

We encourage you to participate by:

DONATION. President Mark and Rotarian Jason will each hike 15km in support of the event in the week of April 11-17. While hiking, they will also carry liters of water to raise awareness of communities around the world that lack adequate access to water. Please send your donation of support! The deadline to send in a donation is June 30, 2021 for the project implementation period of 2021-2022. Please make a direct donation in one of two ways:

1. ONLINE

You may make a donation directly to Amity Foundation with your favorite Visa or Mastercard.
