Leshangtang Charity celebrates decade of philanthropy

Leshangtang Charity Funds celebrated its 10th anniversary with a significant impact in the realm of philanthropy since its inception in October 2014.

Founded by a group of Quanzhou Chinese in the Philippines, the organization initially raised funds to assist a girl from Jinjiang suffering from leukemia.

They then established the charity to continue supporting those in need.

In March 2016, Leshangtang expanded its efforts by inviting other Filipino Chinese organizations to form separate foundations, including the Mass Organizations Foundation, Merchants Foundation, Personal Foundation and the Memorial Foundation for Ancestors.

Each foundation operates under a distinct bank account to ensure transparency and accountability.

Leshangtang Charity Funds adheres to five core principles: no operational fees, transparent accounting, no personal honor, no use of personal names or cameras during activities and only accepting donations through bank transactions.

The guidelines emphasize the organization’s commitment to integrity in its charitable work.

As of Nov. 1, 2024, Leshangtang Charity Funds has donated P72 million and provided assistance to over 1,000 individuals in both China and the Philippines.

The organization also engaged in various disaster relief operations and charitable activities.

The charity urges Filipino-Chinese individuals and organizations to unite in support of marginalized groups, fostering a spirit of solidarity without distinction.
