Generali Hong Kong Supports Underprivileged Families with Young Children to Enjoy Nature

Creating diverse experiences for young children enriches their growth and development. Since 2020, Generali Hong Kong has supported the P. C. Lee OneSky Global Centre for Early Childhood Development to bring positive impacts to underprivileged families and communities. This year, Generali’s The Human Safety Net project continues their annual fundraising event Global Challenge, supporting OneSky’s “Nature Experience Program,” which creates opportunities for over 500 underprivileged families in Hong Kong to learn and grow in connection with nature.

The years before age six are critical for children’s development. Providing a diverse learning environment during this period can lay a solid foundation for their future growth. OneSky is committed to promoting quality early parenting education and support in Hong Kong, ensuring that children from any family background can thrive.
Exposure to nature is important for enhancing children’s learning experiences. It stimulates their sensory development, heightens their awareness of environmental protection, and broadens their life experiences. This year’s “Nature Experience Program” organizes a series of activities, providing interesting and inspiring opportunities for young children to explore different aspects of nature, including eco printing workshops, visits to the Tuen Mun Reptile House, and meet-and-greets with small pets.

One of the highlights of the program was the parent-child hiking day held at The Peak in early November. On that day, Generali’s volunteers, along with over a hundred children and caregivers, enjoyed the autumn scenery and connected with the nature together. OneSky teachers designed a number of small challenges along the hiking trail and set up game stations, and everyone had a happy picnic time on the grassland.

OneSky will continue to organize nature-related projects to provide opportunities for young children to connect with the natural world. We sincerely thank Generali Hong Kong for their support, allowing underprivileged children and caregivers to create precious memories with their loved ones.
