We are eager to help underprivileged children to overcome obstacles in growth

「助學改變未來」於二零零五年成立，服務透過與企業伙伴的參與協作，為K.1-S.3的基層兒童提供全面的物資及學習支援，讓處於弱勢的下一代亦能獲得公平及多元發展的機會，彌補他們在成長發展上的不足，減少跨代貧窮，為基層兒童築造光明的未來。

We aspire to see our children grow under an equitable environment

Hong Kong is one of the cities in the world with severe income disparity between the rich and the poor. Around 200,000 children live under poverty line, representing 25% of the children population of Hong Kong. These children are deprived of many learning opportunities commonly enjoyed by others. Under such circumstances, they can hardly compete with their peers and thus, may have a lower chance of receiving higher education. As a result, the poverty of the underprivileged families will be extended to the next generation.

Long-term Goal

To strengthen the financial ability of deprived families in order to avoid cross generational poverty.

Short-term Goal

To develop a fair learning ground for children.
