South America & The Caribbean
Beyond Jamaica and Trinidad, significant Hakka communities settled in Suriname, Guyana, and French Guiana[cite: 1]. In Suriname, Hakka settlers formed one of the largest Chinese communities, establishing commercial enterprises and participating in civic government[cite: 1].
African Continent & Australia
In South Africa, Hakka families settled in Johannesburg and Pretoria during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, establishing retail shops and community associations[cite: 1]. Similar pioneer communities emerged across Australia, East Timor, and the Pacific Islands[cite: 1].

The Toronto Hakka Heritage Alliance (THHA) serves as an umbrella alliance connecting Hakka families from all these distinct global pathways, united by shared ancestral roots and culture[cite: 1].
