Rebuilding Lives through Donations: ALBA IWS Gives Back to the Community

Through rain and shine, we have completed four donation activities in the months of May and June.

 

At ALBA IWS, we go beyond collecting and recycling Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). We also refurbish select WEEE items and give them a new lease on life as “reborn” electrical and electronic products, and donate them to the needy. Sometimes we receive generous donations of obsolete or slightly defective appliances from our business partners, who also believe in our mission to help those in need.

 

In collaboration with the Christian Family Service Centre (NGO), we organized donation activities on four Saturdays in the past 2 months. Our focus was on the residents of transitional housing in the Tseung Kwan O area, families who have been waiting patiently for government housing for an extended period.

 

While we conduct donation activities throughout the year, this initiative was of a larger scale with over 300 beneficiary households. Our ultimate goal is to expand these efforts to ensure more people across Hong Kong benefit from our contributions.

 

Our heartfelt gratitude to the staff volunteers and the support from management team. We were also honoured that our esteemed partners such as Whirlpool and Contex, also joined us to make a positive impact in the community.

 

As we reflect on smiles and heartwarming experiences, we are reminded of the transformative power of giving, and how these humble refurbished appliances become priceless pieces. We are immensely grateful to Christian Family Service Centre for their partnership, and to all our staff, volunteers, and partners who dedicated their time and efforts to make a difference.

 

Together, we are reshaping lives, one piece of refurbished WEEE at a time. We remain committed to our mission of creating a sustainable future and to reuse wherever possible. Let us work hand in hand to foster a society where everyone has access to the essential resources they need to thrive.
