WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
In Hong Kong alone, over 222,600 children live in poverty. That’s roughly 27% of the child population in Hong Kong!
Around 34,000 children live in subdivided flats.
1 in 10 children have significant sleep problems.
24.4% of children and adolescents reported to have some sort of mental health issue in 2023.
The Social Welfare Department reported a total of 1,439 child abuse cases in 2020, with physical harm being the most common form of abuse.
17.7% of the population aged 15 and over have only ever received primary school education.
14.8% have only ever received lower secondary school education.
33% have only ever received higher secondary school education.
IT'S A VICIOUS CYCLE.
WE WANT TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION.
