The School of St Jude
Concert for a Cause is proud to support, The School of St Jude is based in Tanzania Africa. It was founded in 2002 by a 22 year old Australian, Gemma Sisia, with the goal of providing a free high quality education to the poorest and brightest children, and to nurture future community and business leaders in East Africa. The school has grown with help from a global group of sponsors, now supports over 1800 students spread over three campuses today. Poverty in Tanzania is endemic. Tanzania is unable to provide its children with a quality education. In Africa, girls are often considered second class citizens and many families believe that it is a waste of time educating them, putting a lot of pressure on girls to drop out of school. St Jude’s firmly believes in the equal opportunities and education of girls. Click for More
The Mekong Club
What an inspiring and an eye-opening afternoon as we listened to Matt Friedman, the founder of THE MEKONG CLUB, speak on the topic of a shameful business in slavery and human trafficking by greedy corporations. It's shocking and purely evil and we must spread this awareness to save the littles girls and boys from being exploited.

Italian Women's Association
One of the most rewarding experiences in my 9 years in Hong Kong was to get connected to ADAHK and to work with the gifted brothers, Lee Hin and Lee Shin. Through their unwavering love for music (even with their physical barriers) I was humbled and they have inspired me to truly embrace my music once again. This inspiration has helped me to create an anchor in my life and now I use music as a tool to contribute to others in any way I can. I believe that God puts people in our lives for His will to be done. Thank you so much Lee Hin and Lee Shin for your humble service in music and shining the way for me when I was in search of my purpose. Seunghee Lee, Founder of Concert for a Cause

New Sight Eye Care was founded by husband and wife medical professionals - Joyce Wong is a Hong Kong-born family doctor; Henri Samoutou is a senior ophthalmic technician with surgical skills. In 2006-2008, the couple successfully developed a non-profit eye centre in Gabon, Africa, which is now self-funded and continues to help over 6000 patients every year.
