New Day is a non-profit organization, established as a donor circle, dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls in crisis throughout Asia. Our focus is on "engagement" where membership has the unique ability to select and implement grass roots projects and become more intimately involved in the lives of the individuals we are impacting. Our methodology is intended to create a bridge between New Day members and the communities that we support, thus creating greater awareness of the issues impacting women in crisis in Asia. New Day was founded in Hong Kong by Chris and Liza Green in 2007 as a donor circle. Since inception, New Day has grown to over 80 members and has funded over 10 projects in 8 countries. We are currently focused on three projects, including the Matara Girls Home in Sri Lanka, Action Pour Les Enfants in Cambodia and the LOVEQTRA Girls School and Home in Qinghai, China. Our focus is to provide women and girls with basic needs or assist them to improve their lives through education and economic empowerment. Our aim is to have a long term impact on the communities in which our projects are implemented.

Story

In April this year New Day members visited the Matara project and were incredibly taken with what the home is achieving and the support it is providing to these girls, all of whom come from depraved situations and are largely neglected by society.  The home needs much more support including material renovations to ensure a basic standard of living for the children. We have launched this campaign in an effort to materially improve the lives and living conditions of these girls and to give them hope for their future.New Day members and supporters will traverse the length of Lantau Island, HK, an arduous 27 km hike covering 10,000 feet of ascent and decent. For each km we aim to raise HKD20,000,  equivalent to two years of operations at the home, including funding much needed educational programs and taking on long overdue capital projects. This orphanage has limited options for funding and the lives of these young girls rely on our generosity and support.
