The Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港中華基督教青年會) is an social and charity institution in Hong Kong. It was founded in 1901.[1] It operates several majorfacilities such as the Wu Kai Sha Youth Village.

The Chinese YWCA of Hong Kong was founded in 1918 by Fok Hing-tong, wife of Cantonese Christian businessman Ma Ying-piu.[2] Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong is different from YMCA of Hong Kong. They are two independent organisations in Hong Kong, both traced back to the same YMCA in England but founded differently and provide different directions of service.
