More than 1.47 million people live in poverty. About one in five Hong Kong people
live a poor and deprived life, struggling to afford three square meals a day
and shut out of normal social interaction.
We take these issues very seriously and we endeavor to bring
answers to these issues in a very practical way. We partner with
9 elderly homes and social centers that work with children, youth
and elderly that have low income. Our goal is to promote their
sense of belonging, sense of security and sense of value through
regular visits, food distribution and performances that will bring
a message of peace and hope.
• Child poverty is a serious problem in Hong Kong:
more than one in four children (27% of all children)
in Hong Kong live in poverty.
• 126,000 children (12% of all children) lack at
least one school learning-related item or activity,
such as either a computer with internet connection at
home, extra-curricular activities (e.g. sports, music),
or tutorial lessons after school.
