Get involved – Schools
Get your school involved with a box giving drive and have your students learn of the joys of gift giving to children less fortunate. Children love helping other children!
Why your school should get involved with Box of Hope
In 2022, 109 schools and kindergartens in Hong Kong joined our campaign. We would love to have your school involved in 2023. Help us to bring more gifts to children living in poverty, who may not receive a gift this festive period.
In joining us, your students will learn key life skills of helping those in need and experience goodwill.
OUR CAMPAIGN RUNS IN NOVEMBER! Schools will be contacted post-summer.
Box making story by children
Let these 2 box making ‘professionals’ from Hong Kong’s Island Christian Academy, guide you and explain exactly what needs to go into your Box of Hope and how you can have fun decorating it.
Schools supporting children
Register your school’s interest in the Box of Hope campaign and we will send you more information on how your students can get involved, learn about poverty and reap the rewards of generous gift giving to children less fortunate than themselves.
In addition Box of Hope is looking at expanding our partnership with secondary students who can get involved as part of a CAS project. There are several options for minor and major projects – please email us at schoolteam@boxofhope.org and check out our CAS Project website page https://www.boxofhope.org/en/cas-project/ if you would like to find out more.

The children who receive boxes love reading the many poems, rhymes and messages created by students – makes the boxes extra special!
how underprivileged children benefit
Receiving a gift brings feelings of warmth and happiness, even more so to children who do not receive gifts on a regular basis, if at all. Our gifts aim to give these children the change to experience joy, happiness, and positivity, not just in receiving their gifts, but also with being supported by a community at large. Knowing that there are others who are thinking of them, makes the children feel considered and grateful. We couldn’t ask for anymore.
