All the proceeds will support Children of the Mekong’s education programmes in the Philippines, and particularly preschools in the dump sites of Inayawan in Cebu, and university students at our Cebu center.
Our child sponsorship program offers you the unique opportunity to support a child individually, giving them the chance to receive an education and build a brighter future.
As the sole sponsor, you can create a meaningful connection with your sponsored child through letter exchanges. If you travel to their country, you will have the chance to visit them in person!
To become a sponsor, complete the form on this Give.Asia page. Donations are processed through our partner Give.Asia, and the sponsorship cost is HK$260 per month — please select this amount for your monthly contribution.

Our Hong Kong chapter is managed by volunteers passionate about making a difference in the lives of underprivileged children. The chapter is very active, and organises several events every year to promote child sponsorships and raise funds for our education centres in the Philippines.
Funded in 2001, our Hong Kong chapter is registered with the Inland Revenue Department under #91/7344. It is a tax-exempt charity.
For your donations, we have partnered with Give.Asia, so you can donate punctually or sponsor a child with a monthly donation in Hong Kong Dollars. If you wish to receive a tax receipt for your donation, you must donate via bank transfer to our charity bank account. Please get in touch for more information at hongkong@childrenofthemekong.org
