Who We Serve

Children, Families and the Community

No matter their background or the challenges families face, the P. C. Lee OneSky Centre aims to build an inclusive community for those living in a designated area of Sham Shui Po, one of Hong Kong’s poorest districts.

With a poverty rate of 23.9 percent*, the area is home to many unemployed, single parent families, new immigrants, and ethnic minorities and it has one of the highest numbers of sub-divided flats in Kowloon.

The P. C. Lee OneSky Centre provides qualified children aged 0-6, and their parents, a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment to experience educational play. Parenting skills workshops, consultation and referral services are also offered to families.
