Corporate Citizenship

At QBE MI Asia we genuinely care about giving back to our community. We are responsible corporate members of society.

With this in mind, our relationship with Habitat for Humanity complements our company’s goal of making home ownership possible for more people.

About Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity is a not-for-profit organisation providing affordable housing for low-income families. Since 1976, Habitat For Humanity has built more than 200,000 houses in more than 100 countries. Somewhere in the world a Habitat house is completed every 24 minutes.

Proud Gold Sponsor of the Tai O Restoration Project

QBE MI Asia is a gold sponsor of Habitat for Humanity’s Tai O Restoration Project.

Tai O is a historic fishing village on the southwest coast on Hong Kong’s Lantau Island.

The area has many 200 year-old stilt houses. Almost one-third of the 2,000 residents of Tai O are elderly “fishing people” who are descendents of Hong Kong’s first settlers. Many residents live in dangerous conditions. Their stilt homes are susceptible to floods, typhoons, landslides, pollution and the effects of a low quality sewerage system.

As a Gold Sponsor, QBE MI Asia is helping to restore five stilt homes and preserve and revitalise the Tai O community.
