Poverty 扶貧 Relief Non-Political, Non-Religious, Non-Frontier
According to the latest government data: there are 1.34 million people in Hong Kong living below the poverty line. In other words, one out of every five people fail to have their basic needs met. Although social welfare programs reduce this number by assisting nearly 300'000 people, there are still approximately 970,000 individuals (or 14.5% of the population) in Hong Kong who are currently living below the poverty line (including 400K HK households). These startling figures include 285,000 elderly individuals (that is 1 in every 3 seniors) and 190,000 children (or 1 in every 5 children).

Sunshine Action launched a long-term food and living support program called "Walk with Poverty: Showing Our Warm Hearts in Snowy Weather” in June 2011. The program aims to work collaboratively with local registered NGOs to help impoverished, needy families and individuals who are living under extremely tough conditions and who lack access to social support networks. We help by providing them with 6 months to a year of food and living assistance. It is hoped that this will alleviate their financial burdens, by allowing them to save their ‘food purchase money’ for emergency purposes, as needed.
In 2015, Sunshine Action
started to open new doors for the
REFUGEES in HONG KONG and we'll
provide the same standard of food & services as the local Hong
Kong people.

張伯
– 一位獨居、長期病患及被遺棄的長者，今生無悔，盼望離世後活得更好 張伯一生沒有結婚，膝下無兒，但卻曾堅負起照顧他早年去世兄弟姐妹的子女，不論供書教學以致生活所需，張伯也毫無保留地付出，為的只實諓對離世家人的承諾。可惜長大後的侄兒，卻沒有照顧年事已老的張伯，更騙去他畢生的積蓄後全部移居外地，不再與張伯聯絡。張伯之前曾患胃癌兩度做手術，現年90多年歲身患有糖尿及多種老人病，但仍樂觀面對人生。
背後故事 :
張伯一生生活清貧，心中盼望離世後能到遠方世界過較好的生活，所以他有時會為自己摺金銀衣紙並印上自己的名字，交託為他籌備後事的人為他燒去，希望自己收到。
秀婆婆
–
一位80歲婆婆、長期病患者及問題家庭，但對子女仍不離不棄 秀婆婆現年約80歲，40年前已育有12名仔女，可惜一直與丈夫關係很差，婆婆還記得她有次懷孕時曾被丈夫打倒於街道上。由於有嚴重問題家庭，秀婆婆亦難以維繫一家人的關係，但無論如何，她一直堅負照顧所有兒女的起居。現時她與其中兩名兒子居住，關係仍未改善，其中一名兒子患有精神病，所以經常對母親有言語碰撞及經常將拾荒得來的物品堆積如山地放滿家中，令衞生環境非常惡劣，探訪當日我們更見到曱甴出沒及廚房的雜物堆放令煮食更危險
兩年前來港與家人團聚，丈夫某日突然離家，餘下的只有她、一對兒女及丈夫向外親友借下幾十萬元的債項，由於兒女正處於青少年時期，加上住在僚屋天氣悶熱令情緒起伏，霎時的家變而與蓮姨關係變差。但蓮姨仍不放棄，雖然來港不久，但蓮姨會做散工幫助生計，由於蓮姨本身未合資格申領綜援，扣取$3,000租後，生活更足襟見肘，兒女現時在發育階段，蓮姨因沒有足夠金錢買餸，唯有自己吃少些及每餐煮多些白飯給兒女。幸好現時兒女明白母親辛苦而令家庭關係轉好。 後記
:
現時本港仍有數個山邊的僚屋區，生活環境欠佳，而蓮姨3人居住的單位只有百多呎，我們探訪當日天文台正發出酷熱天氣警告，鐵皮屋內熱氣迫人，只靠一把風扇及一扇窗散熱，而晚上更有老鼠、蚊及蜈蚣出沒，可是蓮姨也沒有餘錢買一個簡單的蚊香 阿英
– 離鄉別井，不斷跌進人生谷底，但仍堅持自力更生的長期病患者
阿英，為了令現時於印尼家人的生活過得好一點，90年代隻身來港打工，今年轉眼已將近20年了。英姐沒有學識，唯有在不同餐廳做洗碗。離鄉別井，總抱著希望於他鄉能找到同鄉知己，但可惜，英姐一直未能結交真心的同鄉朋友，自己失業時，她的「朋友」便不再接近她。在香港，原先也有個齊齊整整的家庭，但想不到，幾年前的大病，唯一認為可依靠的丈夫竟然帶兒女離開，彷彿將她推向人生不能轉彎的地步
–
沒有親友摯友、長期病患、寄掛家人、婚姻破滅加上失業，令她時常萌生結束生命的念頭。現時阿英有社工跟進，心情較好，在我們探訪當日，她提到很想工作。現時阿英失業，只靠政府少少的資助，扣除租金等日常開支，每月只有$360過活。
