Donation
The Oxfam TowerRun, which takes place annually at the Macau Tower – the tallest building in the city, is a fundraising sports event that Oxfam in Macau has organised since 2014. The event is widely supported by athletes from Hong Kong and Macau and is celebrating its 11th anniversary this year. Participants will take up the challenge of running up 1,298 steps from the ground floor of the tower to the adventure deck on the 61st floor. Not only will they be pushing themselves to achieve their personal best, they will also be raising funds for Oxfam's poverty alleviation and development projects, enabling the education and mental health development of left-behind children in Mainland China.
Oxfam is committed to making the Oxfam TowerRun a major tourism and sports event in Macau, becoming the only internationally- recognised tower running event in the city, and an officially recognised 120-point event by the Towerrunning World Association.

今年完成奬牌首次使用木製獎牌，並喺獎牌背面印有留守兒童製作嘅畫作，為獎牌增添雙重意義！
為留守兒童，跑出新希望
中國內地大量留守兒童因父母外出打工而與父母分離，許多困境家庭的孩子甚至在未學會說話前就已經與父母分開。他們通常由單親或祖輩監護，導致學習和行為習慣養成得不到有效支持，影響其成長和心理發展，部分孩子還可能產生嚴重心理問題。
樂施會致力支援中國留守兒童，於貴州、甘肅、陝西等地開展兒童發展項目，提升他們的生活能力和獨立意識。例如，在貴州畢節市提供生活能力提升服務，促進留守兒童的健康生活。在甘肅，支持山區教師培訓，以遊戲和故事增加孩子的學習興趣，促進其身心健康。我們還倡議完善政策，促進平等教育。
樂施會的工作
開展家務能力提升工作坊：幫助留守及困境兒童學會基礎家務技巧，如洗碗、拖地、物資收納，通過自己的能力改善居家環境。
社工能力提升及培訓：提高社工在兒童權利、保護和參與方面的認識，並提升兒童服務策劃和活動帶領的技巧。
加強閱讀推廣及活動：舉辦流動書攤、讀書會、親子閱讀會和話劇表演，幫助兒童養成良好的閱讀習慣，提升閱讀理解力。並為兒童活動中心配置圖書、桌椅、書架、桌面遊戲和體育器材等設施。
家社聯動與監護人支持：邀請監護人參與親子活動，幫助掌握科學養育觀念，提升監護養育能力，為兒童營造良好的家庭環境。
提供功課輔導與品格教育：為留守兒童提供功課輔導、品格教育和課外活動，促進他們的身心健康發展。
教師及導師培訓：支持農村教師參加教學及兒童心理輔導培訓，為留守兒童提供最佳支援。
樂施會深知，父母不能取代，但至少可以通過支教老師或駐校社工對孩子送上關懷和支持。
