Welfare

What is welfare?

Welfare is about promoting one's general well-being, especially when women can often be discriminated against in society. This can include basic needs such as food and shelter, financial stability, housing, etc.

Why do ethnic minority women need welfare?

Ethnic minorities face a number of challenges in Hong Kong. Many of these problems stem from their lack of competency in the Cantonese language. Call Mira aims to help Hong Kong's ethnic minority women gain access to resources and aid that are, albeit available to them, not attainable due to the language barrier.

Leisure and Cultural Services Department

Hong Kong's Leisure and Cultural Services Department is a public resource that features a number of state-of-the-art facilities and affordable programs for all members of the public. Learn more about it here.

Many of the facilities featured in and funded by the LCSD are either free or very affordable, for example, the Victoria Swimming Pool charges 8 HKD for a single entry (for a student/child/senior citizen) while it charges 18 HKD for an adult. During the weekends, the entry fee is 1 HKD higher for all (so 9 HKD for students/children/seniors and 19 HKD for adults).
