Problem to be solved
- Disadvantaged children and their families: Due to special family circumstances such as low income, bereavement, and intergenerational caring, children lack proper care and education.
- Children in need of early treatment: Economically disadvantaged families miss the golden period of early childhood care due to insufficient resources, thereby increasing the burden on families and social support costs.
- It is not easy for social welfare groups to raise funds: Their old and inadequate facilities affect the capacity of services, restricting students’ schoolwork activities and learning development. The reduced service capacity of social welfare groups is unable to support the workload of caring for disadvantaged families.
