Branches of Hope Limited

Branches of Hope, founded in 2012, is a registered tax-exempt charity working to restore dignity, justice and hope to the marginalised and vulnerable in Hong Kong. It is dedicated to supporting refugees, asylum-seekers (non-refoulement claimants) and those who have experienced human trafficking and exploitation through Care, Empowerment and Social Awareness. Branches of Hope achieves this through its two service programmes: the Refugee Opportunity and Development (ROAD) programme and the Stop Trafficking of People (STOP) programme.

ROAD’s mission is to equip, educate and empower individuals and families to become positive and contributing members of our community. ROAD supports over 1000 refugees and asylum seekers through casework, counselling, and legal referrals, in addition to medical support, a child education program, and direct financial living support.

STOP aims to end human trafficking in and through Hong Kong. STOP provides protection support to those who experienced human trafficking and exploitation, educates the vulnerable community to prevent human trafficking from happening, and conducts research to build capacity for responding to these issues.
