TTM, Tsung Tsin Mission of Hong Kong
The Tsung Tsin Mission of Hong Kong (TTM) is extremely active in the social sector: it runs six secondary schools, four elementary school and six kindergartens. It runs six day care centers, a youth center, a retirement home and three day centers for the elderly. Together with TTM and Christian Action (CA), Mission 21 runs a counselling and support service for Indonesian migrant women who work as domestic workers in Hong Kong and often experience exploitation or sexualized violence. Affected women receive legal and moral support, can find refuge in an emergency reception center if necessary and improve their skills through language and computer courses. Today, the TTM has 10,600 members in 22 communities and was founded in 1847 by two missionaries from the Basel Mission in cooperation with German churches. The TTM was therefore originally called the "Basel Church".
