Angels for Children
The Wee Bean is a proud supporter of Angels for Children, a charitable organisation dedicated to improving children's lives in South East Asia. Part of our proceeds from every sale will be donated to this charity to help their work in promoting full and healthy futures for children.
Angels for Children believe that every child has a right to love, happiness, education, care, shelter, food, medicine, clothing and hope. Founded by Helen Whitman in 2006 and established as a Hong Kong registered charity in 2009, Angels for Children is run on an entirely voluntary basis avoiding unnecessary expensive overheads. Angels are proud to be partnered with Bali Kids, Sunrise Cambodia, Po Leung Kuk and Society for Community Organization. To learn more about them, please visit:

Hathay Bunano/Pebble Child
Our Wee Bean dolls are made exclusively by Pebble Child under the Hathay Bunano Proshikan Society (HBPS), a non-profit organization and a member of the World Fair Trade Organisation. Our dolls are made by disadvantaged mothers in rural Bangladesh who would traditionally find it difficult to secure jobs. The training, materials, and support are provided free of charge by the organization, allowing these women the flexibility to achieve financial independence.
J Life Foundation Limited
J Life Foundation Limited was registered as a charity in 2013 (IR: 91/12833) with a vision to mitigate child poverty and cross generational poverty in Sham Shui Po and neighbouring areas with the primary focus on direct food distribution. We believe that education is essential to break the poverty cycle. Therefore, we developed free educational programs including homework tutoring, subject classes and reading programmes, serving students ranging from pre-kindergarten to secondary school. Additionally, nursery and instrumental classes are held in our Music and Food Resources Centre Meal-sic Box. We hope to empower the future generations to improve their lives.
