On the afternoon of 26 November 2025, a level-five fire broke out at Kwong Fuk Estate in Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong, causing serious casualties and significant property damage. The disaster deeply affected people across Hong Kong and the global Chinese community, prompting rapid action from all sectors of society to support affected residents through donations, supplies, and volunteer services.
Against this backdrop, on 28 November 2025, the AB Charity Foundation donated HKD 10 million, followed by an additional HKD 2 million on 1 December 2025. These two donations, totaling HKD 12 million, were made through the Hong Kong Association for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification of China to support emergency relief and post-disaster community rebuilding efforts related to the Kwong Fuk Estate fire.
On 2 December 2025, the AB Charity Foundation further announced an additional donation of HKD 3 million. With this third contribution, the Foundation has now donated a total of HKD 15 million via the Hong Kong Association for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification of China to support projects related to the Kwong Fuk Estate fire. The Foundation hopes that, together with the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and all sectors of society, these efforts will help affected residents resume normal life as soon as possible and continue to embody the solidarity and mutual support represented by Hong Kong’s “Lion Rock Spirit.”
The AB Charity Foundation has stated that it will continue to monitor the evolving situation and will consider providing further support and donations as needed.
