2025 Annual Benefit Report

Reporting Period: February 5, 2025 – December 31, 2025
Company: Ohmykids Limited

1. Public Benefit Purpose

Our public benefit purpose is to empower kids to become future‑ready leaders by cultivating compassion, creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. We also seek to call on parents, educators, policy makers, and communities to join us in creating a profound collective impact on the next generation.

This purpose guides our program design, partnerships, and decision‑making, with a focus on child‑centred, experiential, and values‑driven learning.

2. Activities Undertaken to Pursue the Public Benefit

During the reporting period, the company focused on delivering and piloting small‑scale, community‑based educational experiences that centre children’s voices, cultural identity, and connection with nature.

a. Cantonese Language & Culture Classes

We delivered two separate regular Cantonese classes, serving eight children aged 5–10.
These classes introduced children to:

• Spoken Cantonese as a living language
• Hong Kong culture and traditions
• The cultural origins of their families or heritage

The classes supported children in strengthening their mother‑tongue identity, building confidence in using Cantonese, and understanding the cultural context behind the language.

b. Cantonese × Nature Day Camps & Family Programs

We organized 3 different nature programs:

• Cantonese × Nature day camps in Richmond, Coquitlam, and Burnaby
• A family hiking event
• 3 family camping trips at Whistler Olympic Campground

Participation:

• Nature day camps: 20 children
• Family camping trips: 15 families, approximately 60 children and adults
• Family hiking event: 2 families, 4 children

These experiences integrated Cantonese language learning with immersive environmental education. We intentionally chose outdoor settings because we believe nature is calling, and that children and families should not only learn about nature, but also experience its power, beauty, and responsibility firsthand.

Children were encouraged to:

• Speak and sing in Cantonese naturally, without pressure
• Learn about plants, animals, and ecosystems through direct, real‑life observation
• Develop respect for wildlife, land, and natural forces through lived experience

The immersive nature setting allowed children to use language spontaneously while forming meaningful connections with the natural world (including memorable wildlife encounters).

c. Kids’ Adventure: Burnaby Village Museum

We facilitated a kids‑led adventure experience at Burnaby Village Museum. Children explored the site independently using a specially designed Kids Activity Pack, which included:

• A custom map
• A “help card” for support when needed
• “Parent mute” stickers encouraging adults to observe rather than direct

This initiative promoted:

• Independence and decision‑making
• Curiosity‑driven exploration
• Trust between children and adults

The experience reinforced our commitment to child‑led learning and respectful adult support.

d. Kids Co‑lab 

While some planned initiatives did not proceed as originally envisioned due to capacity and resource constraints, the company began developing a new initiative, Kids Co‑lab, which was soft‑launched in December 2025.

The first activity under Kids Co‑lab was the Kindness Christmas Advent Calendar, co‑created with a small group of children. This project:

• Centred children as co‑creators
• Encouraged reflection on kindness and empathy
• Create physically with the Calendar and digitally with the short videos of opening the calendar daily

3. Assessment of Success in Achieving the Public Benefit

Third-Party Standard Used for Assessment

The company assessed its performance with reference to the B Impact Assessment (BIA) framework developed by B Lab, an independent organization that provides widely recognized standards for measuring social and environmental performance.

Given the company’s size, early stage of operations, and community-based programming model, the assessment focused on the impact areas most relevant to our activities, particularly:

• Community impact, including engagement with children, families, and local communities
• Customer impact, relating to the design and delivery of child-centred educational experiences
• Environmental considerations through nature-based programming and fostering environmental awareness

The company did not complete or obtain a formal B Impact Assessment score during the reporting period. Instead, the framework was used as a reference lens to guide reflection and ensure alignment between operations and the company’s public benefit purpose. The directors consider this approach appropriate and proportionate to the scale and resources of the company at this stage of development.

Other observed outcomes included:

• Increased confidence among children using Cantonese in everyday and outdoor contexts
• Strong engagement in nature‑based learning, including curiosity about plants, animals, weather, and ecosystems
• Children actively demonstrating creativity, communication, and collaboration through activities such as:
  • Creating nature journals and drawings
  • Building tents and learning basic camping skills
  • Cooking together outdoors and sharing responsibilities
  • Problem‑solving and decision‑making in group settings
• Positive parent feedback regarding cultural identity, language exposure, environmental awareness, and child‑led learning
• Children showing leadership, initiative, and teamwork during kids‑led and family‑based experiences

These outcomes indicate meaningful progress toward the company’s public benefit purpose, including both cultural‑linguistic impact and environmental and social development, particularly at a pilot and community scale.

4. Circumstances That Hindered the Pursuit of the Public Benefit

The company faced several constraints during the reporting period:

• Limited financial and human resources as a small organization
• Capacity limits affecting the scope and frequency of programming
• Time required for organizational setup, compliance, and experimentation

These factors resulted in some planned activities being postponed or reshaped. However, they also informed a more focused and sustainable approach moving forward.

5. Directors’ Statement

The directors confirm that, during the reporting period, they acted in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company, balancing:

• The company’s public benefit purpose
• The interests of children, families, and communities served
• The long‑term sustainability of the company

The directors believe the company acted in accordance with its public benefit commitments throughout the year.

6. Looking Ahead

Building on the learnings from 2025, the company plans to:

• Expand Kids Co‑lab as a platform for child co‑creation
• Deepen kids‑led, experiential learning opportunities
• Continue engaging families and communities as partners in creating future‑ready learning environments
