Moreover, the platform’s scalability and adaptability in transitioning from pandemic-related aid to food assistance to address other pressing social challenges were the keys for it to win the esteemed awards.

As for the Kam Fan Awards, following an evaluation process that spanned six months by adjudicators from the creative, digital, and media fields, Share for Good earned one gold, two silver, and three bronze awards, totaling an impressive six accolades, in what is considered one of the most influential advertising awards in Asia.
