The aftermath of World War II led to an abundance of social hardships. Amid the upheaval, Caritas Hong Kong was founded in 1953 by the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong to provide relief and rehabilitation to people in need

Over the following 65 years, Caritas Hong Kong has grown to offer a far-reaching wealth of community services, including social work, education, medical care and hospitality, at 250 units at more than 150 locations throughout the city.

The social work services of the NGO provide support to children, young people, families, the elderly and people with special needs. Its educational services encompass different levels of education, including pre-school, special and vocational, and community and higher education. The organisation’s medical services comprise both hospitals and clinics.

Finally, its hospitality sector provides catering services and affordable places to stay for students, working people and guests of all kinds.

Caritas receives financial assistance from the government, the Community Chest and the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. With the help of supporters including Nancy Fung, it also runs fundraising campaigns throughout the year, from bazaars and raffle sales to walks and concerts.
