78. Playtao is a social enterprise initiative that aims to address Hong Kong’s growing
education needs, with a special focus on children of low income family.
Playtao Foreverland will provide an afterschool childcare and education program
targeted towards children of low-income families. We seek to empower children by raising
their skills and exposure through multi-disciplinary, extra-curricular learning, while freeing
up their parents to pursue employment and thus better the lives of the entire family.
