2025 marks the 105th anniversary of Hong Kong YWCA. A Thanksgiving Celebration was originally scheduled for Dec 5. However, in light of the serious fire at Wang Fuk Court, Tai Po, the event has been turned into a Worship and Prayer Assembly, with an additional session to pray for those affected by the disaster. We hope to dedicate the event to our Heavenly Father and Hong Kong, and to provide comfort and blessings to the society.

YWCA won major awards for its cross-sector collaboration projects: “Smart Living: Treatment at Home”, “Smart Hub - Telecare Project for Rural Villagers of North District” and “Jockey Club BaMa Chill Club Perinatal Support Project”. These initiatives demonstrated how the Association's services bring greater convenience and a better community.
