Our Beneficiaries
It is our endeavor to assist and empower our beneficiaries in multiple ways. We draw on resources, both tangible and intangible, and offer the best we can.
We identify our low-income beneficiaries through referrals from Family Service Centres and applications from the general public. The beneficiaries for SMILE Seniors are largely word-of-mouth and walk-ins.
We work together with the beneficiaries to look into the form of individualised training and/or upgrading skills.
