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.
