About
- Description
- We focus in three areas- the elderly, disadvantaged youth and ethnic minorities. We visit/ meet with NGOs in the fourth quarter of each year. After our visits we decide which NGOs we should ask to apply to us. After considering the application we distribute grants by not later than March. We wish our grant to have a transformational effect and therefore specialise in small NGOs with annual turnover of less than $10 million. We also like newer NGOs with dynamic leadership. We only make grants to those bodies with a section 88 IRO certificate. Last year (year 2020) we made some emergency grants to some NGOs who were suffering financially because of the effects of the protests and Covid. This is unlikely to be repeated and we will return to our Annual allocation exercise.
- For over 25 years FOCUS has been a trusted resource for Hong Kong parents, educators and medical professionals seeking to learn how to better support the academic and social lives of children with mainstream learning differences. FOCUS aims to improve educational and life outcomes of children with AD/HD and SpLD by expanding understanding and raising awareness of what it means to have a mind that learns differently Our mission is is to improve the education of mainstream students who are challenged by Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) by providing accurate evidence-based information, practical strategies and support to parents and professionals in education and healthcare and by improving understanding of how learning differences impact youth both emotionally and academically.
