About Us
A 3 years long youth-led voluntary project that focused on children and youth’s education and arts in the ethnic minority community discovered alarming concerns for ethnic minority families of children with Special Education Needs (SEN): Rising number of SEN in the EM community, limited understanding and awareness on SEN, social stigma toward neurodiversity, and a lack of accessible resources in the public and private sector.
Taking a risk, the volunteers united to establish Kriti Children’s Centre For Learning and Development.
The word ‘Kriti’ was chosen for its etymological roots in both Latin and Sanskrit which denotes the creation of something out of nothing. In 2022, Kriti was officially recognised as a charity and has since served more than 250 Nepalese families in Hong Kong. The charity currently caters to 40 children aged one and above where about 30% have been diagnosed with or are suspected of having SEN, including a network of 100 families of children with SEN.
