Alongside the popularity of the concept of “Corporate Social Responsibility”, many corporate and organizations are willing to invest more manpower and financial resources to welfare service. Some intend to expand their resources to support the sustainable and specific projects for the needy. Hong Kong PHAB Association has been collaborating with Small and Medium Enterprise (SME), International Groups, Professional Organizations and Government Department to implement sustainable and special projects to meet the service users’ expectations of different times. The projects aimed at developing the potential of people with disabilities, supporting the teenagers with special education needs (SEN), and facilitating employment for people with disabilities.
