The Lok Sin Tong Benevolent Society, Kowloon (Chinese: 九龍樂善堂), or Lok Sin Tong (樂善堂), is charity organisation[1][2] in Hong Kong since 1880.[3]

History

In the mid-19th century, there was a market outside Kowloon Walled City. To maintain a fair trade, a group of local Chinese set up a common scale and collected service charges from users for charity services such as free medical consultation and burial services. In 1880, the Lok Sin Tong Benevolent Society, Kowloon, was officially registered as a charity organisation.[3]

In the late 19th century, with the outbreak of plague, the society set up a free graveyard at Fei Ngo Shan to bury the poor dead. In 1927, it founded a first free school for girls. Since then its service has expanded into education, social welfare and medical care. It is a diversified social organization.[3]

In 2016 Lok Sin Tong invited Julian Chan and Schumann to write a song called "Benevolence" to celebrate 136th anniversary.[4]
