Event

In the 2023 Policy Address, the government proposed Targeted Poverty Alleviation as the future direction of poverty alleviation strategies, aiming to allocate resources to those who are most in need, with particular attention to the social welfare needs of subdivided unit residents, single-parent households, and elderly households. In light of this, ORKTS is hosting an "Innovation for Targeted Poverty Alleviation" to facilitate targeted, collaborative efforts making poverty alleviation more impactful and empowering for communities in need.

You are cordially invited to join our event Innovation for Targeted Poverty Alleviation to learn from experienced NGO leaders and CUHK professors leveraging Community Living Room and related service as a platform to serve the communities in need.
