纏繞全球數年的疫情終將於今年初漸漸散去，社會各界也因應各項防疫措施撤銷而逐漸復常。萬象更新，即使在疫情期間，我們並沒有因此停下腳步，一直積極為有需要的基層及單親家庭提供不同方面的支援服務，同時為復常作好準備。

本年度本會有幸得到婦女自強基金資助，推行花「知」招展婦女展業計劃。計劃目的是希望提供多方面的資源和支援予婦女，協助她們尋找自己的興趣，然後繼而發展她們的興趣及專長，讓她們可以更容易建立自信，擴闊社交圈子，重投社會，自力更生，以實現本會宗旨「自強、自助、再助人」的精神。

「讀萬卷書，不如行萬里路」。疫情過後，生活復常。本會嘗試舉辦交流團，希望鼓勵社會人士多多出外走走，增廣見聞。在2024 年1 月，本會得到香港特別行政區政府民政及青年事務局轄下青年發展委員會贊助，舉辦「一帶一路，一城一味」港蓉青年交流項目。項目一共有30 名18-30 歲，來自單親家庭及基層家庭的年輕人參與。交流團參訪四川省成都市及周邊城市的重要文化、教育和自然保護機構，如大熊貓保護研究中心、三星堆博物館等，讓參加者了解四川的經濟社會發展情況，還鼓勵他們努力學習、積極向上，為未來發展奠定基礎。

社會瞬息萬變，新的一年，本會會繼續致力推動不同的服務計劃，從多方面出發，提供更多元化，更貼近社會現況的服務予單親家庭，實踐協會「自強、自助、再助人」的精神；亦寄望在未來的一年可以在不同地區擴展協會的規模，開設新的服務單位和項目，讓更多市民可以認識協會，讓協會可以為更多有需要的單親人士及家庭服務。我們希望以行動來支持他們，讓他們知道單親路上有我們與他們一起同行。

The epidemic that has plagued the world for several years will finally dissipate early this year, and all sectors of society will gradually return to normal as various anti-epidemic measures are lifted. Everything is changing. Even during the epidemic, we have not stopped because of this. We have been actively providing various support services to grassroots and single-parent families in need, and at the same time, we are preparing for the return to normal.

This year, we were fortunate to receive funding from Home and Youth Affairs Bureau and Women's Commission, Stay Confident - Women's Career Development Program. The purpose of the project is to provide women with various resources and support to help them find their own interests and then develop their interests and expertise,so that they can more easily build self-confidence, expand their social circles, rejoin society, and become selfreliant.To realize the spirit of our association´s mission of “strengthen ourselves, help ourselves, then helpothers”.

"Travelling brings about far greater benefit than mere book learning." After the epidemic, life returns to normal. Our association is trying to organize exchange groups, hoping to encourage people in the community to go out more and broaden their knowledge. In January 2024, we received sponsorship from the Youth Development Committee under the Home Affairs and Youth Affairs Bureau of the Hong Kong Government to organize the " The Belt and Road Initiative, One City, One Taste" Hong Kong-Chengdu youth exchange project. A total of 30 young people aged 18-30 from single-parent families and grassroots families participated in the project. The exchange group visited important cultural, educational and nature conservation institutions in Chengdu and surrounding cities in Sichuan Province, such as the Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center, Sanxingdui Museum, etc., allowing participants to understand the economic and social development of Sichuan, and also encouraged them to study hard and be active upward, laying the foundation for future development.

The society is changing rapidly. In the new year, our Association will continue to work hard to promote different service plans and provide more diversified services that are more relevant to the current social situation for singleparent families from various aspects. We will practice the association's spirit of " strengthen ourselves, help ourselves, then help others "; we also hope that we can expand the scale of the association in different regions in the coming year, open new service units and projects, so that more citizens can know the association, so that the association can serve more single parents and families in need serve. We hope to support them with actions and let them know that we are with them on the road to single parenthood.
