ACTAsia

ACTAsia was founded in 2006, with the purpose of helping Asian cultures evolve into caring societies, respecting all forms of life. It is a registered non-profit organization with staff and volunteers working from offices in China and other parts of the world. Through education, we promote compassion for animals, kindness towards people and respect for the environment in China and throughout Asia.
