Making sure every dollar counts
In each of the villages that we are helping, we sign formal agreements with the village management committees, who help evaluate the materials needed for each home, allocate subsidies to each family accordingly, and ensure building standards are adhered to. Donations raised after deducting the expenses go to the reconstruction project and cost-effective procurement of construction materials. Our full-time onsite project manager works closely with the village management committees to make sure all our goals are achieved.Ensuring accountability of the project
To ensure the best outcome possible, SCMP Homes for Hope manages as a distinct entity under SCMP Charities Limited, a unit of The SCMP Group, and oversee by an experienced and capable steering committee. Local support and administration is provided by the respected Kuok Foundation.Our current committee members include:
- Dr. Sir David Li, chairman and chief executive of The Bank of East Asia, Limited and acting as chairman of the committee
