The Mark Obama Ndesandjo Foundation Limited is a charity which promotes the education, development, understanding and valuing of diverse classical and modern art and music, particularly among the young and the disadvantaged. A portion of profits from Mark’s music recordings and book sales will also contribute to the fund.  in Hong Kong, we are registered under section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap.112) and donations are tax-deductible. From time to time,  we will partner with other organizations who can offer tax benefits on a case by case basis. The Board of Management comprises 5 Councillors (including the Chairman) who meet annually and are consulted on proposals and fund solicitations. All positions are voluntary and unpaid.

    The Foundation builds on Mark Obama Ndesandjo's personal experience and proven track record of over ten years working with orphans in China. Its unique focus is sharing art with children as well as other disadvantaged kids to help build a global community.

    The Foundation develops art opportunities for young people, complementing work study and language initiatives already underway in China, Kenya and America, all within an integrated framework.

    The programs aim to link global communities based on active participation of Foundation members, corporations, the public and relevant government institutions.
