In celebration of its 60th anniversary, Waihong Services Group held a resin and mobile phone strap workshop, inviting three ladies from the Association’s "Career and life development supportive service for young mothers" to be instructors. The event combined skills transfer with social care, allowing young mothers to practice their skills through teaching while promoting interaction between the company and the community.

YWCA Warehouse Support was invited by Citybus to set up a charity booth in the “Best Bus Captain of the Year 2024”. Young people with ASD showcased their talents with a variety of products and quick drawing service. The booth received positive feedbacks from the guests and Citybus bus captains. 

YWCA continues to implement Strive and Rise Programme this year. The Association has successfully recruited more than 800 students, ranging from Form 1 to 4, coming from Kowloon City, Yau Tsim Mong District and Sham Shui Po. The programme allows them to enhance their abilities and build up their self-confidence. Through interaction, exchanges and sharing with the mentors, as well as participation in volunteer services and visits, participants are able to learn about themselves, broaden their horizons, develop their potentials and plan for their future.
