Care for the Poor

Poverty situation

According to the ‘Hong Kong Poverty Situation Report for 2020’, 23.6% of Hong Kong's population – 1.653 million people – live in poverty, i.e. one in four Hong Kong people is poor.  In 2006, Jubilee Ministries established the Love Our Neighbour Ministry, initially reaching out to the neighbourhoods of Mongkok and Tai Kok Tsui, and it has now expanded to Jordan.  Co-workers and volunteers actively reach out to the poor, forging neighbourhood relationships infused with the love of Jesus.

Within this thriving community, there exist scavengers, cardboard collectors, street sleepers, the elderly, the weak, the sick, the physically challenged, the illiterate and the poor… Love Our Neighbour Ministry was established to reach out to the people with the love of Christ and to serve them.
