Help The Blind Foundation Limited

EducationHuman Services

The Help The Blind Foundation was founded in Hong Kong by Mr. D.K. Patel, retired Senior Economist, HSBC, Hong Kong, in 2005 with prominent local residents as directors. Initially, the focus of the foundation was to help blind school-going children by building/improving existing schools. Research showed that integrated education, rather than education in segregated schools of the blind, prepared them better for employability in the real world – that prompted Mr. D.K. Patel, to provide visually impaired students in India access to university education in regular colleges, which alone would give them the confidence to integrate into society and empower them to obtain a reasonable employment. HTBF India was hence established in Chennai in 2010 with academics and professionals as Trustees to implement the mission of the Foundation and the journey of the Foundation began in earnest with Mr. Patel at its helm. Vision Successfully elevate economic status of the Visually Impaired and improve their image in the eyes of the society. Mission Provide access to university education thereby enabling Visually Impaired students to get jobs in today’s modern economy.

About Migrant Domestic Workers in Hong Kong: •There are currently 370,000 women working as domestic workers in Hong Kong (10% of the working population) •54% of migrant domestic workers are from the Philippines, 43% from Indonesia and 3% from countries like Bangladesh, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Nepal. •They earn just HK$4,410 (US$550) per month, facing enormous pressure to send money to feed, educate and house their families back home, supporting at least four family members •88% of domestic workers remit more than 40% of their salary back home every month. 30% of their salary is used to pay for debts incurred •Many of migrant domestic workers are left with nothing to save for retirement or an emergency. Only 6% go home because they feel they have saved enough money and 77% of returnees plan to remigrate •Far too many domestic workers are taken advantage of by unscrupulous recruitment and loan agencies that leave domestic workers in a cycle of indebtedness that they cannot break Since our establishment in 2007, Enrich has now reached and educated over 20,000 participants in our 750+ workshops and impacted over 50,000 family members back home. With our 10 years of experience, we are now well positioned to offer guidance, knowledge and education to support migrant domestic workers to have a more positive and successful migration journey: before they leave their home country, upon arrival, while in Hong Kong and while preparing for successful return and reintegration back home. After taking part in our workshops*: -77% of participants know how to plan and prioritize to pay their debt off (increased by 66%) -94% do research before deciding which investments to get -100% know how to manage expectation of their family when it comes to sending money -88% reduce spending -92% now have a plan for their future. *Financial Literacy: What is the Impact? - Academic report and first external impact evaluation of our work for migrant domestic workers.
