Operation Santa Claus connecting the Hong Kong community with a good cause
The South China Morning Post and RTHK launched the annual campaign, aiming to give local charity projects a leg-up

The fundraiser, a collaboration with RTHK, last year raised a record-breaking HK$21.3 million for a variety of good causes in Hong Kong. This year the organisers set a minimum target of HK$17 million for a raft of new projects, many of which support the city’s youth.
There are five new beneficiaries in the 2016 campaign, including FHL Adventure Education Centre, Yes We Do Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, The Outward Bound Trust of Hong Kong and HKUST.
Outward Bound has launched an outdoor expedition programme for young disabled people. Participants will be invited to join a kayaking adventure near Sai Kung on specially adapted boats.
This year the OSC campaign, which has raised more than HK$250 million for 230 charitable causes since it was established in 1988, is partnering with Facebook and will incorporate several live video streams of events, including Wednesday’s launch.
