Under the District Administration Scheme launched since 1982, Hong Kong is divided into 18 administrative districts. The first Healthy City Project (HCP) of Hong Kong was initiated in Sai Kung District in 1997.

A cohesive partnership infrastructure across sectors conducive to sustainable development has also been built. Over the years, more and more districts in Hong Kong joined the “Healthy Cities” movement. When the Alliance for Healthy Cities was inaugurated in 2004, Sai Kung and Kwai Tsing Districts were among the founding members. To consolidate the work of various administrative districts and to take forward the “Healthy Cities” initiative in a synergistic manner, the China Hong Kong Chapter of the AFHC was established in September 2007.

We believe that with the right education and support, one child has the potential to lift an entire family out of poverty and that a generation of educated children has the power to change a whole society. Through intensive, long-term investments in children, CCF is helping students build the skills, confidence and integrity they need to become the progressive spokespeople and leaders of change in their communities. Since 2004, we’ve been working with some of the most impoverished communities in Cambodia, centred around the former garbage dump at Steung Meanchey. Back then, our world revolved around the health and wellbeing of 45 children living on the garbage dump. Today there are around 2,000 students working towards a better future for themselves and their families through CCF’s award winning education program. The garbage dump was closed in 2009. However the need for CCF’s services continues as Steung Meanchey remains an entry-point into Phnom Penh for destitute families with no option but to try and make a living through scavenging or begging on the city streets. Through a range of programs that focus on 6 core areas – Education, Leadership, Community Outreach, Healthcare, Childcare and Vocational Training – we take a holistic, on-the-ground approach to developing integrated solutions to the complex issues of poverty.

Care Apparel Association Limited

HealthHuman Services

我們的任務 “​衣服傳關愛 ” 衣、食、住、行是生活的必需品，而“衣”就爲生活之中最不可或缺的東西： ​ 長者和殘疾人士往往因行動不便或肢體上的變異，使他們在衣著上面對不少困難。一般市場上的衣服未能幫助或滿足他們的需要，但具有功能性特別設計的衣服可幫助他們解決穿著方面的困難，甚至修飾身體上的缺陷，從而改善生活質素，使他們重拾自信。當科技及醫療發展日趨進步，人均壽命普遍延長，我們對老弱人士生活困難及提昇生活質素的工作包括特別設計的衣物服務亦需多加關注及改善。 ​​ ​從事勞動工作的人士因工作的關係，經常要面對不少職業安全風險，亦有時會在惡劣環境下工作。雖然一般市場上已經有很多個人保護設備產品供應，但是在需要考量成本的前提之下，該些衣服或設備是未必能完全滿足普羅大衆的實際需要。隨社會節奏加快，勞動人口面對嘅不但止是自動化生產以至全球一體化所帶來的挑戰。爲了幫助大眾迎接時代的沖擊，協會將竭力研發及改良個人保護裝備，以提升勞動人口競爭力及生活水平。
