Our vision
Our vision is to see people in Hong Kong who are doing tough financially have their situations improved and flourish.
Rental subsidies
Our target beneficiaries
People living in subdivided flats in Hong Kong may be trapped in a repeating poverty cycle from generation to generation as a result of growing up in difficult financial circumstances and poor living conditions. We believe that by providing financial assistance to households currently living in subdivided flats, especially families with young children, to improve their living conditions, combined with the provision of appropriate coaching and guidance, there is much hope for their getting out of poverty quicker than they might otherwise be able to.
The help we offer
Not all households in need would be eligible to receive cash allowance from the Hong Kong Government under the Cash Allowance Trial Scheme (the purpose of which is to alleviate the difficulties on livelihood faced by grassroots families who have been waiting for public rental housing for a prolonged period of time). Some households eligible for such allowance may still not be in a financial position to move out of subdivided flats to rent better accommodation. Accordingly, we offer rental subsidies to households currently living in subdivided flats, especially families with young children, to enable them to move to rent regular flats to improve their living conditions.
In addition to financial assistance, we will also provide to those households with coaching and guidance on career development, training and education. Our aim to assist the adults to secure more stable jobs, and to improve their employability and skills for advancing their careers and improving their earning capacities. At the same time, with the improvement of their study environment at home and availability of extra guidance on their education, we believe that the children will benefit from improvement in their academic performance and enhancement in their overall development.
Our goal
In offering such assistance, our goal is to enable those households to live with dignity and become financially independent eventually.
Emergency relief funds and support
Our target beneficiaries
We understand that life can be unpredictable. Losing a job, suffering from illness, being involved in an accident or even loss of a family member may result in a person or their family falling into financial or other difficulties and feeling helpless. We want to give hope and practical support to people in such circumstances in Hong Kong.
The help we offer
We offer emergency relief funds to people in Hong Kong who need financial assistance as a result of sickness, accidents, loss of employment or other difficulties occurring to them or their family members.
In addition, we also provide to them practical and emotional support to assist them to deal with their difficult situations and connect them with other NGOs and the government which may provide further assistance where appropriate.
