Background

The Po Yin Association for the Development of Education Co. Ltd. (Po Yin) was set up in 1989 to promote education in Hong Kong and in poverty-stricken areas in China . Its members came from all walks of life including professionals from education and social work. Po Yin is registered at the Hong Kong Government as a charitable organization (Registration Number: 91/3032).

Our Objective

We aim at promoting the opportunity for children in remote areas to receive education through improving school facilities, offering sponsorship, and where desirable, providing related social services.

Our Belief

It is our firm belief that, education is the most effective way to unearth the treasure within each child. Knowledge casts out ignorance, enriches the lives of the children, and brings them out of the vicious poverty cycle.

Our Principle

All our members are volunteers who fund their own expenses such as expenses incurred in transport, accommodation and meals when traveling in China . All our programmes and activities are conducted in accordance with the laws, regulations and policies of the local authorities. We do not involve ourselves in any form of political or religious activities.
