H.E.A.T H.K

Unverified non-profit organisation

H.E.A.T HK is a student-run non profit organisation aiming to bridge inequality within Hong Kong.

At H.E.A.T, the aim is to tackle the issue of heat stress in underserved communities around Hong Kong by mitigating its consequences and addressing its root causes.

Fundraising: With your help, we aim to raise $100K, through crowdfunding, in school events, and online donations. This money will go towards the purchase of fans for those in need.
Purchasing new fans: We will purchase new fans that meet our standards for wind speed, efficiency, and durability using the money we raise. We also plan to collect used fans from donors, to help ensure that we remain as environmentally friendly as possible.
Distribution: We are working with Crossroads to help distribute our fans to low-income communities. With your support, we aim to eventually establish our own distribution network to help maximise the efficiency of our operations.
Educating: We aim to educate Hong Kongers on the wide ranging issues surrounding heat stress in cage homes. Through weekly Instagram posts and articles, we will outline key topics such as the urban heat island effect and how forced land scarcity has contributed to poor living conditions.
