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.

Beneficiary feedback
Juvenile offenders are the most vulnerable among the disadvantaged groups in society, and have long been neglected by society. We are grateful to the Novatek Social Caring Fund for seeing the urgent need to renovate our Future Coffee, which serves as a transition workplace for these juveniles, and immediately offered help. Through companionship and counseling, these children who have made mistakes can find their way home and embark on a new life. The Novatek Social Caring Fund has assisted in repairing the kitchen of the Future Coffee, which had long suffered from leaks in the meal collection area and posed a risk of falling for juveniles delivering food due to the height difference in the stairs. The vocational training area and counseling room are also inadequate, and we hope to provide the juveniles with a warm and comfortable environment to help them recover from their difficulties.
