'Fly High' Single Mom Buddy Program

A group of single moms aged 25-40 were given opportunities to return to school, pursue their interests and improve the chances of upward social mobility in the 'HKFWC's One Day We Can Fly'

Kerry Engagement will partner with Hong Kong Federation of Women's Centres to launch a buddy program, to recruit volunteers for providing career advice, encouragements and companionships to these single moms through casual gatherings and phone or WhatsApp conversations.

This is an initiative supported by the Kerry Group. Through scholarships, single moms are able to continue developing their talents, establish self-confidence and improve their job opportunities by obtaining tertiary education.
