Saint Barnabas’ Society and Home was founded in 1987. Since then, we have continued to provide services to the poor and homeless, as well as residents of wood-partitioned. Hot meal services, material aid distribution, hot showers, recreational facilities, outreach services, spiritual care, and self-reliance projects are among the services provided.
We established Kid’s Learning Club in 2014. It is a centre for nurturing underprivileged children, focusing on the development of life skills and realizing personal potential that will have an impact on Hong Kong in the long run. We organize homework guidance classes, Sunday activities, and day camps during holidays.
- Project Name
- Regain Crystal Clear Vision
- Project Summary
- The poor and homeless in Hong Kong could hardly afford regular eye check-ups and further treatment in the private sector, while the waiting time in public hospitals is excessively long.
Without adequate care, their visual issues will worsen and compromise their safety and daily living. This project will provide 30 service users’ eye examinations, and 7 service users can have eye surgery. We aim to provide free eye examinations and treatment to them so that they can restore clear eyesight and cope with daily living. Some will receive referrals to the public sector for more care and assistance.
- Beneficiaries
- 30 poor and homeless elderly who cannot afford regular eye check-ups and treatment, with priority given to those who have existing eye problems.
