Sustainify

Simply Do Good.Turn ideas into positive change.

Sustainify is a youth-led NGO in Hong Kong. If you have an idea that would help people around you, we will help you get it started: a mentor to talk it through, introductions to people who can help, and guides you can use on your own.

In the press

Sustainify in numbers

These figures come from coverage of our launch and the year after. Each one links to the article and covers the period it describes, so they are not running totals. The support figure is the value of products, materials and services partners gave, rather than cash.

150+

service hours

In the six months before the platform launched.

How we support young founders

Three kinds of help, and you can have all three

You do not have to work it out alone. Bring an idea that would help someone, on your own or with a team, and we will help you take a first step small enough to actually finish.

Who can ask

Anyone with an idea, at any stage. If you are unsure whether yours fits, ask.

Bring an idea
  1. Mentorship

    Talk through the problem, who would benefit and a realistic first activity.

  2. Networks

    Introductions to people, schools, NGOs and collaborators who can help.

  3. Educational materials

    Stage-based guides, planning worksheets and examples you can use on your own.

Want the detail? Projects & Workshops explains all three, and the extra help we can sometimes arrange.

Where to start

Read a stage, or ask for a workshop

The guide walks you through it stage by stage. The workshops bring the same thinking to a group, in person.

Understand the need

Start here if you care about a problem but have not asked the people living with it.

Start with the people, not with the solution you already like. Listen and watch before you commit to anything.

Questions to work through

  • Who experiences this problem?
  • What do they say they need?
  • What already exists?
  • Whose perspective is missing?

What you get: Community needs worksheet and conversation prompts
