YWCA Women Affairs Department launches the “PeaceMaker” programme. As stated in the Bible, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Mattew 5:9), we would like to be the peacemaker by linking up churches, the Association’s members and volunteers to distribute anti-epidemic goods and daily necessities to the single-parent families and the grassroots in Kowloon district. 

The Association co-organised “Y Worker” with Youth Employment and Training Programme of the Labour Department, to provide young people, aged 15 to 24 with educational attainment at sub-degree level or below, internship opportunity to gain valuable experience in a real working environment. 

The Association is grateful for all the support received during our flag selling event, especially to those who donated via the Gold Flag campaign despite the difficult time everyone is going through. This helps to raise funds for more timely services for the needy. 

The Association’s Chi Po Neighbourhood Elderly Centre cooperates with Food Angel in providing meals for underprivileged elders in Sham Shui Po, to reduce their financial stress. 

Sponsored by Simon K.Y. Lee Karen’s Fund, the Association’s Career Development and Continuing Education Department launches “Project LIGHT” for working youths with bachelor degree and aged between 22 and 35 years old. The project aims at assisting young people to understand themselves and broaden horizon, hence better plan their career.

2020 marks the centenary of HKYWCA. Hongkong Post will issue the“Centenary of Hong Kong Young Women’s Christian Association” Commemorative Stamps, a set of 4 stamps, tomorrow (10 March), on the founding day of the Association to mark the momentous occasion.
