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.
