Help me conserve fresh water in Dongjiang basin to ensure community sustainability

My Story

This September, I will join 69 other KPMG colleagues and HSBC executives on a HSBC/KPMG Challenge Himalayas 2019 to trek 75 km through the spectacular landscapes of the Himachal Pradesh region in the Indian Himalayas, all whilst raising money for Conservation International and WaterAid.

Clean, accessible drinking water is often seen as a normal part of everyday life. But with growing population and pollution, this water security is being challenged. Right now in the Dongjiang river regions, domestic sewage continues to be released into the environment without proper treatment, putting direct pressure on source waters.

People need nature - the Dongjiang basin serves as a major water source for over 40 million residents of nearby villages and the entire city of Hong Kong, with a population of more than 7 million people.

By donating, not only can you support the participants on their 4-day trek through the mountains of the Himalayas, you will also be contributing to harmonizing community sustainability and freshwater conservation in the Dongjiang region. Ultimately, your donation can help us conserve humanity’s most precious resource.

今年9月，我會與69名汇丰银行和毕马威会计师事务所的员工，在印度喜马拉雅山脉喜马偕尔邦地区的壮观景观中徒步75公里，同时为保护国际基金会和WaterAid筹集资金。

清洁的饮用水通常被视为日常生活的正常部分。但随着人口和污染的增加， 东江流域的安全问题正在受到挑战。目前在东江地区，未经适当处理的污水继续释放到环境中，对源水造成直接压力。

人们需要大自然 - 东江流域是附近村庄和整个香港城市4000多万居民的主要水源，人口超过700万。

通过捐赠，您不仅可以支持参与者通过喜马拉雅山脉进行为期4天的徒步旅行，还将有助于协调东江地区的社区可持续性和淡水保护。最终，您的捐赠可以帮助我们保护人类最宝贵的资源。
