What began as a 3-year youth-led voluntary initiative serving the ethnically diverse community uncovered an urgent reality: a rising number of children requiring Special Education Needs (SEN) support, faced rising numbers, limited awareness, social stigma around neurodiversity, and a severe lack of accessible resources across both public and private sectors.

Taking a leap of faith, the volunteers founded Kriti Children's Centre for Learning and Development. 'Kriti' draws from Latin and Sanskrit roots, meaning to create something from nothing’ Officially recognised as a charity in 2022, Kriti has since supported over 250 families in Hong Kong. Today, the centre serves 40 children aged one and above — around 30% diagnosed with or suspected of having SEN — alongside a growing network of 100 SEN families.

一項為期三年、由青年主導、專注於少數族裔社群中兒童及青少年教育和藝術發展的義工計劃，發現了育有特殊教育需要（SEN）兒童的少數族裔家庭一些急需關注的問題。例如，少數族裔社群SEN兒童人數攀升、對SEN的認知和了解不足、社會對神經多樣性 (neurodiversity) 的歧視，以及育有SEN兒童的少數族裔家庭缺乏可通達的途徑從公私營界別獲取資源。於是，幾位義工毅然攜手成立Kriti Children’s Centre For Learning and Development (以下簡稱 「KCC」)。

Kriti 一詞源自拉丁文和梵文，意指從無到有的創造。2022年，「KCC」正式註冊成為慈善機構，至今已服務超過250 家庭。目前，中心服務40名一歲及以上兒童，其中約30%屬確診或疑似SEN，並設有由100個育有SEN兒童家庭組成的支援網絡。
