10.10.10. Anti Poverty Day 2012 Within the top 28 economic cities of the world, Hong Kong has the highest Ginny Coefficient (0.53), making Hong Kong the leading city of disparity between the rich and the poor with an estimate of 1.26 million people in the latter population. One in every six Hong Kong citizens are battling poverty. As the issue prevails, the underprivileged will become increasingly in need of support.
10.10.10. Anti Poverty Day 2012 350 thousand children live below the poverty threshold. Children who grow up in insufficient situations are prone to encountering more obstacles and social complications. This will affect their development and how they identify with the society and result in inter-generational poverty. Families who have to worry about their next meal due to prolonged periods in poverty or sudden threats are not uncommon.

Anti Poverty Day 2012 Whether it'd be the elder who scavenge for recyclable cans, the newly immigrant mother who is expecting, a child who lives in a family stricken with poverty, the employee who is hardly making enough to get by, the homeless man, or the people who need the service of a food bank…..they are all fighting to live. People in need are around us.
