The Morris Charity Initiative (MCI), a registered charity in Hong Kong*, was founded in 2016 by the Morris family: Karen (莫文蔚), Trevor (莫理斯), and their mother Eleanor (莫何敏儀). In order to better continue their long-standing family tradition of philanthropy, the Morrises have set up MCI to give back more to society, and all of them have pledged to serve for free.
To Our Donors, we pledge accountability, and transparency.
To Our Beneficiaries, we pledge our love, dedication, and devotion.
