[A Short Story of our beneficiary’s home visit — Through Delphine’s Eyes]

Recently, Delphine, Board Member of The French Chamber Foundation, stepped into a narrow corridor of an old building in Kowloon with her young son beside her. They were visiting a beneficiary of the Make It Work HK programme — a woman in her mid 30s, living with her son in a sub divided flat no larger than a parking space. For years, this small room had been their entire world.

The mother welcomed them with a shy smile. Her story was one shared by many of Hong Kong’s working poor: limited education, migration from the mainland, a difficult family situation, and the heavy responsibility of raising a child alone. Without childcare support, full time employment was impossible. Survival depended on part time shifts, unstable income, and sheer resilience.

As Delphine listened, she found herself responding not only as a businesswoman, but as a mother. She noticed the boy’s quietness, the way he stayed close to his mother, the absence of space to play or study. She imagined what it would feel like to raise her own child in such conditions — the constant worry, the lack of choices, the invisible pressure of poverty that shapes every decision.

The visit was brief, but the impact was lasting. Delphine left with a deeper understanding of what poverty looks like in Hong Kong today: not only financial hardship, but isolation, limited opportunities, and the emotional weight carried by single parents who are doing their best with very little.

From her perspective, the experience reinforced a belief she has long held — that the business community has a meaningful role to play. Flexibility in the workplace, part time arrangements, family friendly policies, and inclusive hiring practices are not just HR strategies; they are lifelines for families like the one she met. When companies open doors, even small ones, they create pathways for dignity, stability, and hope.

Delphine hopes her visit will inspire more leaders to look beyond numbers and see the human stories behind Hong Kong’s working poor. Poverty is not distant — it lives in the same city, often just a few MTR stops away. And with compassion, creativity, and commitment, the business sector can help rewrite these stories.

[透過Delphine的視角 ─ 敍述關於受助者家訪的故事]

不久前，法國商會慈善基金董事會成員 Delphine 帶著年幼的兒子，走進九龍一棟舊樓宇內一條狹窄的走廊。他們此行是為了探訪樂進堂的受助者──一位三十多歲的母親，她與兒子一同居住在一間面積僅相當於一個停車位大小的「住宅」裡。多年來，這間小屋就是他們的整個世界。

這位母親帶著羞澀的微笑迎接他們。她的經歷是香港許多「在職貧窮」人士的縮影：教育程度有限、從內地移居香港、家庭境況艱難，以及需要獨自撫養孩子的沉重負擔。由於缺乏托兒支援，全職工作對她而言遙不可及；一家人的生計全靠零碎的兼職工作、不穩定的收入以及堅韌的毅力維持。

在探訪過程中，Delphine 不僅以商界人士的身份，更以母親的角度深切感受。她注意到屋內男孩的沉默寡言，以及他依偎在母親身邊的模樣，家中根本沒有空間讓他玩耍或學習。她試著想像，若自己在這樣的環境中撫養孩子，會是怎樣的情況——那種揮之不去的擔憂、無可選擇的無奈，以及貧困帶來的無形壓力，如何左右著每一個決定。

這次探訪雖然短暫，影響卻深遠。Delphine 離開時，對當今香港貧困的真實面貌有了更深刻的理解：貧困不僅僅意味著經濟拮据，更伴隨著孤立無援、機會匱乏，以及單親家長在資源極度匱乏的情況下，竭力支撐家庭所承受的沉重心理負擔。

這次探訪進一步堅定了她長久以來的信念：商界可以發揮非常重要的角色。彈性的工作安排、兼職機會、家庭友善政策以及包容性的人事措施，絕不僅僅是人力資源管理的策略，更像她所探訪的那個家庭一樣，是「救命稻草」。當企業敞開大門——即使只是微小的一扇門——便為這些家庭開闢了通往尊嚴、穩定與希望的道路。

Delphine 希望這次探訪能啟發更多企業領袖，不再僅僅專注於冰冷的數據，而是關注香港「在職貧窮」背後一個個鮮活的人生故事。貧窮並不遙遠──它就存在於這座城市之中，往往只隔著幾個地鐵站的距離。憑藉同理心、創造力與堅定的承諾，商界有能力幫助改寫這些故事。

[Boosting the Labor Market: "Career" CHECK-IN Job Fair🔍]

According to the latest data released by the Hong Kong Government, the unemployment rate for the period spanning June through August 2026 stood at 3.8%📉, corresponding to approximately 153,900 individuals without employment. Concurrently, certain industries continue to face substantial recruitment challenges, particularly with the food and beverage sector experiencing difficulties.

In line with the Foundation's mission, we recently organized the "Workplace CHECK-IN: Industry Mini-Expo💼" event. The initiative brought together multiple organizations to establish recruitment stations and conduct on-the-spot interviews, while also hosting guest speakers from diverse sectors to share industry insights. This comprehensive approach enabled grassroots participants/job seekers to develop a thorough understanding of prevailing market requirements and increase their chances of securing employment.

🩷We would additionally like to express our sincere gratitude to Infopro Digital for their volunteer contribution at the event's "CV Consultation Clinic📝," where they provided professional and constructive advice to grassroots individuals/job seekers. It definitely helping to enhance their competitiveness and increases their chances of securing employment.

The event opening up more employment opportunities for those in need, meanwhile facilitating the relationships between employers and prospective employees. We also anticipate driving the Hong Kong's labor market development and catalyze economic expansion.

[推動勞動就業市場‧「職」場 CHECK IN招聘會🔍]

根據香港政府最新公布的數據，2026 年 6 至 8 月的整體失業率為 3.8%📉，失業人數約為 153,900 人。其中，部分行業仍面臨招聘壓力，尤以餐飲服務業較為明顯。

貫徹基金會的使命，我們早前舉辦了「職場 CHECK IN 行業微博覽💼」，邀請多間企業設置求職攤位，提供即場面試機會；同時邀請不同界別的嘉賓講者分享行業資訊，助基層/求職人士掌握當前市場的需求與現況。

🩷此外，特別感謝 Infopro Digital 在活動中的「CV 診症室📝」擔任義工，為基層/求職者的履歷表提供專業且寶貴的建議，協助他們提升競爭力及成功獲聘的機會。

活動有效促進企業與求職者之間的連結，為有需要的人士開拓更多就業選擇，同時期望能推動本港就業市場的發展，促進經濟成長。

Self-awareness and developing a personal brand are essential steps prior to looking for a job, transitioning careers, or even starting a business.

• 🏷️With the support of a mentor during panel discussions, participants can discard intangible or negative self-perceptions and redefine their personal brand image;
• 🖥️Beginning with straightforward image creation, exploring how AI can enhance everyday activities and work tasks.
"Make the Dreams Works✨" program continues, and the journey of pursuing dreams is far from over; and we look forward to the exciting stages that await us!

[Empowering the future – CEO’s Dialogue👩🏻‍💼👨🏻‍💼💬]

In the upcoming year, the Foundation aims to enhance employment support services for youth, assisting them in navigating the uncertainty often experienced when first entering the workforce.

Young individuals— ranging from recent graduates to those at the start of their careers— often feel uncertain or confused about their future professional paths and life directions. With this in mind, we had the honor last weekend of hosting a group of esteemed speakers🎤, which included representatives from the innovation and entrepreneurship sectors of the Greater Bay Area, cross-sector CEOs, and leaders in venture capital and branding. They shared their personal experiences, practical insights into the workplace, and perspectives on industry trends. Sharing also covers topics such as brand marketing and the feasibility of working outbound. The impactful and enlightening messages they conveyed will undoubtedly be of great value to the young participants.

We encourage young people to engage in in-depth dialogue with these speakers, whether the subjects are about further education, job hunting, career transitions, or entrepreneurship. 💡 Every single word shared by the speakers was truly inspiring, any wise saying could even reshape the course of their lives🎯!

🩷🤝🏻 Special thanks to the guest speakers for their generous sharing (in no particular order):

_Mr. Colin C. Chau (CEO of Quintar Capital)
_Ms. Nancy Yee(Founder of Aurora Intelligence)
_Ms. Rebecca Fox (Multinational Corporation Consultants)

無論是在求學、求職、工作轉型或創業的課題上，我們都鼓勵年輕人與講者進行深入交流。他們的一言一語，確實為年輕人帶來了啟發，其中的至理名言甚至有可能改寫他們的人生🎯！
