關於我們
ABOUT JEFF ROTMEYER
Jeff Rotmeyer was born in Surrey, Canada and has lived in Hong Kong for the past 13 years.
Jeff is the founder of ImpactHK, a charity supporting the homeless in Hong Kong.
ImpactHK started with just a few individuals wanting to show kindness to those in need. It has now grown into a humanitarian movement involving thousands of participants aimed at providing the homeless with multiple connections, in order to empower them for change.
Jeff is also the founder of Love 21 Foundation, a charity supporting the Down syndrome and autistic community with health and nutritional programmes.
Jeff is dedicated to living a meaningful life through social work and has dedicated his life to making positive impact for those in need.
He was recently announced winner of the Hong Kong humanitarian award, The ONE.
Jeff founded both charities while working as a full time in a public school here in Hong Kong. This is a rare opportunity to meet someone who has founded two separate NGOs.
