Effective Altruism Hong Kong

“Thanks again for having me at the Horizon Impact Lab. I really enjoyed the session and appreciated the warm, small-group setting, which made it easy to have genuine exchanges and honest reflections.

What stood out most for me was the open, constructive debate on different impact measurement approaches globally. It was a valuable reminder not to get trapped only in my day-to-day local client context, and I left with several fresh ideas to explore. I also liked how you connected effective altruism with practical decision-making, and I’d personally be keen to go deeper into this in future sessions.

Overall, I’m really glad to see this kind of conversation happening in Hong Kong and would love to see more people exposed to a broader range of philanthropy approaches and vehicles.”

Crystal Lai, Sustainability and Shared Value Manager, Nan Fung Group

“The Horizon workshop was definitely a solid introduction to Effective Altruism if you’re interested in their core ideas. It gave me a fresh, alternative lens for thinking about how to maximize impact and how strategic cause prioritization plays out in practice. I loved the group exercises — they really challenged quite a few of my own assumptions and showed how a highly evidence-based approach can lead to some surprisingly counterintuitive results.”

Eva Luk, former philanthropic foundation partnerships director

Caring is the easy part. Choosing where it goes isn’t.

In April a group of people sat down to work out where their time and money actually go furthest. That was the Horizon Impact Lab, and we’re running it again.

One evening, a small group, and the key ideas of effective altruism alongside how to actually use them. You leave with a way to compare causes that still holds up the next morning, your own giving and career decisions pressure tested, and a room of people in Hong Kong asking the same questions.

Led by Kenneth Chan, Managing Director of EAHK, who has spent four years co-leading the organisation and a decade in education across classroom teaching and curriculum design. It’s a workshop, not a lecture, so expect to do the thinking.

做好事，點先做得到位？呢個問題，Peter Singer 諗咗大半世人。七月廿一號，我哋會喺香港同佢一齊傾。

佢嘅諗法好簡單，但唔容易做到：捐之前，先諗清楚同一蚊放邊度，最多人受惠。想聽佢親身講，順便留低傾吓偈，無論你啱啱接觸「有效利他」，定係捐開都好，都有你嘅位。

報名連結喺 bio，七月廿一號，香港見。

How do you turn good intentions into real impact? That's the question Peter Singer has spent a career pressing, and it's the one we'll be sitting with on 21 July.

His ideas helped shape a simple, demanding habit: before you give, ask where the same dollar does the most measurable good. Come hear him in person, then stay for the conversation. Whether you're new to effective altruism or have been giving for years, there's a seat for you.
