Cast your mind four months back.
It's a typical Hong Kong summer afternoon. The sun shines oppressively over the urban jungle, and you feel your body’s moisture and energy being sucked away as your feet start to burn on the tarmac. Where do you go?
For most, the answer is simple: home. For many, home represents solace amidst scorching conditions, with air conditioning that reduces the most suffocating summer days to a minor inconvenience. For over 200,000 others, however, home is a metal furnace, confining the worst of the summer heat into poorly air-conditioned (if at all!) cages three times smaller than the city’s jail cells. The impacts of these conditions range from dizziness and nausea, to heat strokes and even seizures.
Although winter is coming, summer is too. What’s more, global warming means that each summer will be hotter than the last, which means Hong Kong’s socioeconomically disadvantaged will continue to suffer.
With your help, we aim to raise $HKD 130,000, which will go towards the purchase of approximately 2,000 fans for those in need. We have partnered with Crossroads for their extensive experience and global distribution networks.
Before selecting our fan models, we conducted extensive market research to ensure our appliances meet international standards in safety, durability and energy efficiency. Furthermore, we tested our fan model prior to approving it for use.
