Our VWO: Handicaps Welfare Association (HWA)

This year, our team is honoured to have HWA as our VWO and we hope to seek a close working relationship with the management and members of HWA. Our aim is to build an inclusive society for people with disabilities to live in.

VWO is the acronym for Voluntary Welfare Organisation and it refers to an organization that:
  • is a voluntary set-up and governed by an elected volunteer board
  • is non-profit making
  • promotes and provides social and community services in financial, emotional, educational, health and social aid and support
  • caters for those in need, distress or at-risk and helps the disadvantaged and disabled to be independent
  • is driven by a strong spirit of volunteerism and works with volunteers, government authorities, public and private organisations and the community.
