SAVE was born due to the increasing scientific evidence that air pollution is a serious threat to health, lung function and development in children, and the prospect of even higher levels of air pollution in Hong Kong in future.  It is an education campaign that informs children about the threat air pollution poses to their physical development. It reinforces that knowledge with practical exercises to measure and understand the effects of air pollution on health; engages children in critical thinking about air pollution issues; and empowers them to protect themselves.

CWS is a Hong Kong registered charity dedicated to supporting children through education, health care and social opportunities. CWS started its life-saving work in 1995 and all programmes to date have been in Nepal.

 

The community of Hong Kong is always supportive of CWS’ work. For the past few years, the CWS team has wanted to give something back to Hong Kong for its generous support. Due to a growing concern about the state of Hong Kong's air and the threat it poses to children’s health, CWS has initiated its first programme outside Nepal: an education campaign about how air pollution affects the health of children – called S.A.V.E.

CWS是香港註冊的慈善團體,致力於兒童的教育,保健及社會機會。 CWS於1995年開始其拯救生命的行動。 直至目前,所有任務都是基於尼泊爾範圍內。

 

香港社區團體一向鼎力支持CWS的工作。 CWS團隊熱切期望能回報香港一貫慷慨的支持。 由於香港空氣污染質素重大威脅兒童健康的問題備受關注,CWS 開始發起首個尼泊爾範圍以外的項目: 一個以污染空氣怎樣影響兒童健康之教育性的行動 ─ 命名為SAVE – 步步保寶。
