Crossroads Foundation
Crossroads Foundation is a non-profit charity based in Hong Kong which connects those with resources and those who need help. They do this through collecting quality excess and second-hand goods within Hong Kong, refurbishing them if necessary, and then distributing them to those in need within Hong Kong and internationally.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crossroads Foundation - Our Work )〕
Crossroads also runs interactive and immersive simulations to give participants an experience of needs like urban poverty, refugees, HIV/Aids and blindness, through their Global X-perience programmes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crossroads Foundation - Global X-perience )〕 Crossroads supports fair trade and social enterprise with a Global Handicrafts〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Global Handicrafts )〕 marketplace selling fairly traded goods from around the world and their Silk Road Cafe,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Silk Road Cafe - Global Handicrafts )〕 serving fair trade coffee and other beverages and snacks.

==Organisation==
Crossroads Foundation, formerly called ''Crossroads international'', is based at the old British garrison base at Perowne Barracks in Hong Kong, formerly home to the Brigade of Gurkhas. The full-time staff are all volunteers who raise their own income so that they can live and work at Crossroads. Hundreds of part-time staff, also volunteers, come from around Hong Kong to work at Crossroads throughout the week.
