Transcript of A Presentation on New Day for Morgan Stanley March 31, 2011.
• Hong Kong registered non-profit, non-governmental organisation (NGO)
What is New Day ?
• New Day is funded by:
On-going monthly contributions by our members
Individual one-off donations
Corporate donors
• Focus is on assisting women and girls in crisis situations across Asia by providing funds to implement programs which will meaningfully impact their lives.
Our mission
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.
Our story
• founded by Hong Kong couple Chris and Liza Green
• conceived as a donor circle of like-minded Hong Kong residents who wanted to
– donate funds to grassroots projects in a direct and impactful way
– learn more about issues affecting women and girls in Asia and
– Become directly involved in project selection.
• focus on women and girls– who are too often the victims of the
dark underside of poverty in the region
– who, with economic support, are capable of lifting themselves and family out of abject poverty
What do we spend the money on?
• Projects that rescue and shelter women & girls in crisis or at risk
• Projects that help women and girls through education & economic empowerment
Projects must:
be located in Asia
be targeted
investments for long term impact
assist grassroots operations
provide ongoing feedback
to New Day
New Day is many things to its Members
