Hong Kong Community Network

Hong Kong Community Network Limited is established in 2010, which is a nonprofit organization (91/10503). In 2012, we started developing services for ethnic minorities.
In order to enhance the support for ethnic minorities, we cooperate with different organizations, for example, ethnic minorities groups, religious groups, regional group, non-government organizations, schools and government branches to develop different services. We believe:

• Breaking the barrier of language as a cornerstone for integrating into the community

• Connecting the social and capital supports as building a bridge for the ethnic minorities to integrate into Hong Kong
• Creating a multicultural platform, embracing social inclusion
