Ridealist - Non-profit video production

Donation protected
Because of incredible bureaucracy at PayPay this fundraiser has been forced to close. Previous donations have been returned to the senders. 

Hopefully we'll be able to resolve the issue shortly. 


Husband and wife team Shirley HAN Ying and Chris Gelken created Ridealist in 2009 to produce short videos to showcase the efforts of grassroots non-profits, community groups and individuals who otherwise would not have ready access to professional media services. 

Since then, we have produced more than 35 videos for NPOs in China, Hong Kong, Britain, Kenya and Uganda whose efforts are making a valuable and positive contribution to society. We offer tailored content in English and Chinese on an entirely pro-bono, volunteer basis.


We have also covered the entire production cost, including equipment, transport etc.


Since 2010, Ridealist has been legally registered as a society in Hong Kong. 


Ridealist videos cover an eclectic range of topics that are dear to our heart. They include domestic violence, child abuse, human trafficking, the environment, animal rights, equality, and many more. 


Our videos are widely distributed on GoodnessTVGoodTube, YouTube and the Internet websites of our client non-profits and shared among interested parties where they reach an average audience of at least 500 daily views.


Among many other projects, we are planning a trip to Uganda in 2013 to film a documentary about the work of Hands of Action - and the small team of international volunteers who are helping to create a sustainable and aid-independent community in the district of Bukibukolo. 


We plan for this short documentary to be a template, or a model, for other small and diverse groups of individuals to follow. 


We aim to demonstrate in a visually stimulating and entertaining way, that by pooling their talents in a creative way, they can apply the lessons learned in Bukibukolo to their own particular projects. 


However, to maintain and expand Ridealist - and keep it free - your support is crucial. 

And so far, the fundraiser isn't really going so well. Here's our latest post with more information on our blog. We would like to emphasize, that the figure represents production costs only - and does not include any renumeration for the Ridealist team whatsoever. 

If we do not reach our target, the production will have to be cancelled. Any funds donated will be returned to the contributors or used to promote the programmes at Bukibukolo - depending on the wishes of the donors. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Warm regards from the  Ridealist team. 

Thank you.
