Take the Next Step to Give Life and End Abandonment
Walk the Wall is a global movement that brings people together each year to raise money for children and youth who have disabilities in China, as well as families raising children with disabilities so that abandonment isn’t their only option. If you'd like to know more about ICC, please visit our website.
From 1 Jan to 31 July, ICC Hong Kong is taking the next step in our journey to transform the lives of the most vulnerable children in China. By walking the wall or making a donation you are providing life-changing opportunities for thousands of children and young people, including:
- Expanding ICC’s impact into more orphanages in Hunan province
- Reaching hundreds of impoverished families caring for a child with a disability
- Bringing vocational and job opportunities to young people who yearn for a chance to reach their potential
Be a part of helping vulnerable children in China by supporting International China Concern (ICC) from 1 January - 31 July!
Will you support us by joining the walk or making a donation?
Together you will be transforming lives and bringing love, hope and opportunity to China’s most vulnerable children.

The App is back!
The unique Walk the Wall app is back! This handy tool puts inspiration at your fingertips and will be your cheerleader as you walk. You can monitor the progress you’re making on your chosen walk, upload photos to your friends and supporters and enjoy some amazing videos and stories along the way.
What does the app do?
As you walk, you can track your progress in real time on our Walk the Wall map that is scaled to the distance of your walk. As you reach each special ICC location, we’ll be there to cheer you on, and the app will invite you to watch brief videos of the amazing children and families that you are walking for. Want to share your walk with your friends and the ICC Walk the Wall community? Take a selfie right inside the app and post it on your social media. Halfway through your walk, you can even send a live video update to all those that have sponsored your walk!
Download our Walk the Wall app on Google Play or the Apple Store.
