One of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon another. If someone is in need, lend them a helping hand. True kindness lies within the act of giving.

Save the Children Hong Kong works with local charity organizations in providing assistance in funding and activities planning for children in the community.Against Child Abuse (ACA)
In collaboration with Against Child Abuse (ACA), a Parent-Child Support line was launched in 2012 to provide phone-in counseling and follow-up services for parents, and children, as well as front-line workers such as teachers, social workers, child care workers, etc. on handling suspected child abuse cases. The Support Line service could also provide immediate support to professionals who play an important role in child protection.In 2013 we extended the services hours (9am – 9pm Monday to Friday) to increase access to the hotline. As a result, calls were up by 35% to 1411 in 2013 (from 1044). Of the 1,411 calls received, 428 calls (30%) were on suspected child abuse, 439 calls (31%) on parents with child management difficulties and the use of corporal punishment towards their children, 33 calls (2%) on other problems such as family violence and marital problems, and 511 calls (36%) on personal problems or service enquiries.There were 3,515 follow-up services in response to the 1,411 calls. A total of 136 investigations for suspected child abuse cases and 1,352 home visits were conducted. Subsequently, we referred 230 children and their families to governmental departments and other community support services for follow-up. There were 10 multidisciplinary case conferences held for the serious child abuse cases.
