Clear the air and rebuild one’s life
For a century, YWCA strives to serve people in Hong Kong, especially women and their families. We are fully aware of the importance of getting to the root of the problem, alongside medication, when dealing with women with emotional needs.
With reference to the profound experience in serving women, our team of specialists, including psychiatrists, social workers, counsellors, clinical psychologists, etc., take care of those in need in a women-oriented approach, and support them to get rid of any unhealthy thoughts.
With a monthly donation of HK$100, you can support 4 women who need emotional support. Let’s join our hands to help postnatal women, full-time moms, working moms and divorced women to live a happy and fruitful life.
If God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. (1 John 4:11)
