Welcome to the Refugee Union’s monthly roundup! We’re excited to share our latest updates and developments as we continue advocating for the rights and well-being of refugees in Hong Kong. This edition highlights key events from the past month, including our advocacy work, community outreach, and fundraising efforts. We hope this roundup offers a comprehensive overview of our work and inspires you to join our mission to create a more just and equitable society for all.

About Us

The Refugee Union is a community-based organisation, established in 2014 by refugees in Hong Kong. Our mission is to promote and protect the rights of refugees through advocacy, education, and community building. We work to empower refugees to become self-sufficient and active participants in their communities, while also advocating for policy changes that support their rights and well-being. Our organisation is run by refugees, for refugees, and we are dedicated to creating a more just and equitable society for all.

Activities at a Glance

On 7 and 21 September, we were grateful to Grassroots Future for arranging weekly crochet gatherings for ladies at the Kowloon Union Church. These gatherings provide us with opportunities for bonding and learning.

In anticipation of the Mid-Autumn Festival, on 23 September, we were thrilled to have students from the Hong Kong International School bringing us a lantern-making session to celebrate this festive season. These students also arranged a fun dancing class for kids earlier this month. Thank you so much!

On 26 September, we were honoured to have Matt and coaches at Minisport HK arrange sporting activities for families with children at Victoria Park. We all had a great time.

Giving is a Blessing

This month, we received a wide range of useful item donations. We would like to express our gratitude to those who have lent a helping hand. Your support means a lot to us, and we ensure all items received are distributed to refugees.
