Fair Community
Everyone gets an equal opportunity to know what Fair Trade is. We distributed fairtrade products to the public which enabled people from different backgrounds to have more choice.
Past Events:
Fair Trade Hong Kong (FTHK) has cooperated with churches and charitable organizations. Under the support of Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and Drs Richard Charles and Esther Yewpick Lee Charitable Foundation, 2,770 anti-epidemic bags and 300 COVID- 19 Rapid Antigen Test Kits were distributed to the grassroots community. Therefore, disadvantaged groups including the cleaners, single elderly, ragpickers, the homeless, the unemployed, households living in subdivided flats, and underprivileged families were provided with instant assistance that supported their daily living. Through our action, we hope to relieve their extra burden brought by the epidemic, care for our community with warmth, and eventually achieve fairness and sustainability.
Fair Trade Hong Kong (FTHK) and the team of Caritas Project Hyacinth-Enrichment Service – “Love Reborn – Family Renewal Project” has worked together to distribute the disinfection and cleaning products that are fair trade, natural, organic and additive-free to 300 young mothers and newborn babies. The grassroots families in Kowloon, Tsuen Wan, Tsing Yi, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai and Hong Kong Island district were benefited in the event.
FTHK would ensure a sufficient supply of product with quality by building a trustworthy relationship with the local fair trade, organic and certificated products’ suppliers. Moreover, through distributing the fairtrade quinoa bread in the anti-epidemic bag, FTHK hopes to relieve the problem of imbalanced nutrition in the grassroots families. An anti-epidemic brochure, including the quinoa recipe, tips that help balancing the diet, and different community support service and hotline, has also been designed to support the disadvantaged groups.
"Spring Scrolls and Cantonese Dialect" workshop, presented by the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Office and organized by Fair Trade Hong Kong Foundation (FTHK), is supported by the Intangible Cultural Heritage Funding Scheme. This project aims to enhance the understanding of local intangible heritage among diverse social groups in Hong Kong through intangible heritage activities, thereby fostering social inclusion.
Gender equality is one of the core principles of Fair Trade. Fair Trade Hong Kong (FTHK) wishes to support minority ethnic women in integrating into the community by teaching them Cantonese daily expressions and the cultural practices of writing and pasting spring scrolls in workshops, cultivating their interest and understanding of Chinese traditional culture.
In 2024, a total of 7 workshops were conducted and were well-received by the participants who found the course content interactive and informative.
