Mip (Make it Possible) : Plant with Elderly

WHO recently described the harms of loneliness as same as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Are you aware of the number of elderly individuals experiencing loneliness in Hong Kong? A recent report shows that the average loneliness score among 162 elderly is 9.2 (8.0 defined as severe loneliness). We, Mip (Make it Possible), aim to raise awareness of elderly’s mental health and reduce caregivers’ stress via regular home visit and activities. Therefore, we are launching a service-learning programme “Plant with elderly”. Please join us if you have same idea with us!
