The HIS Foundation witnesses the love of Christ through relief of natural disasters, helping the poor and needy, rendering free educational and health services in China and the rest of the world.
Introduction of HIS Foundation


HIS Foundation was established in 1992 as a charitable limited company. It is a Christian organization and its objectives are to provide disaster and poverty relief, as well as medical and education services with a view to witnessing Christian love and gospel in different parts of the world. ( Please see the Section below on the background concerning the formation of HIS Foundation. )


HIS Foundation has been making effort in China to fight against poverty, assist the needy people and care for them. It is hoped that they feel the love, compassion and warmth of the world. In turn, they will love their family members and people around them, and help those in need.


HIS Foundation began organizing various medical teams in 1994. They conduct free medical service and surgery for the patients and provide aids for the handicapped people who otherwise cannot afford the normal fees. These services rekindle life, dignity and hope for many sick people. The medical teams include medicine, orthopedics, cleft lip and palate, ophthalmology, geriatrics and rehabilitation. HIS Foundation also provides training for medical personnel and sponsored the rebuilding of a hospital.


In 2001, His Foundation started to offer education services for the benefit of the younger generation. The education services include rebuilding primary schools in rural areas to improve the teaching and learning environment; training courses for junior secondary English teachers to upgrade their teaching standard and quality of school life; sponsorship of scholarships to help poor but able students to continue their education; donation of library books to enrich the teaching resources of the schools and broaden the scope of learning of the students; and organization of camps and summer classes to encourage students to learn actively, establish a correct value system and love others.


HIS Foundation does not receive any subsidy from the Government. Its income composes of entirely hearty donations. Members of the medical and education teams normally make a donation in relation to the expenses of their trips besides contributing their time and effort to provide the service. We firmly believe "Giving is more rewarding than receiving." We also firmly believe that love can change the direction of life and light up hope.。


Background Leading to the Formation of HIS Foundation
 

In 1991, there was a serious flood among the eastern areas of China, which affected more than 80 million people and caused tremendous financial and economic losses. Five Christian and Catholic leaders in Hong Kong started the "Blood is thicker than water" (血濃於水) campaign. Within a short period, a good amount of money and materials were collected and these were passed to the needy people in China through the HK Red Cross. A number of Christians also took part in the "Sending warmth" campaign (送暖行動). After they came back, they made the following sharing : "Wherever came to my eyes was a picture of suffering and sad Chinese people. The villages were already very poor before, and the flood made them worse."


After the flood had subsided, the disastrous situation continued. There were diseases. People lacked food and clothing. They just had a bit of persistence to fight against the poor environment and struggle to survive.? This sharing aroused enthusiasm and led to a serious discussion of how to sustain our care to Chinese people in this era of suffering.


A foundation can take up the work of continuous support to China. China has a vast area, and there are frequent calamities. We must rely on God who takes charge of the world in carrying out our caring missions.


Accordingly, the name "HIS Foundation" HIS meaning God's) sprang up naturally. The Chinese name of HIS Foundation ( 天鄰基金會 ) was derived from the Chinese verses 「苦難如身受,天涯若比鄰」( The meaning is : People very far away are like neighbors; their sufferings are like our own. )
