Phyllis Marwah grew up in Taos, New Mexico, and has lived in Hong Kong since 1974. She is a mother to seven children and grandmother to 18.
As the Co-founder of Mother’s Choice, Phyllis helped to grow the charity from a small group of concerned friends to an organisation that has impacted thousands in Hong Kong and inspired like-minded initiatives in India, China, and Cambodia. She was a Board Director of Mother’s Choice from 2000 to 2022, and is now a member of their Advisory Council.
Mother’s Choice is a local charity serving children without families and pregnant teenagers in Hong Kong with the vision to see every child in a loving family. They join hands with the local community to give hope and change the life stories of vulnerable girls and babies.
Join us for Hive Talks with Phyllis Marwah as we dive into her philanthropic journey, explore her experiences supporting and lifting up the local community, learn about her inspiring story, and her advice for women and the next generation seeking to make a difference.
