The Social Welfare Department’s IT Scheme for People with Visual Impairment and Central Fund for Personal Computers are both open for application until 15 March 2023. 

The IT Scheme for People with Visual Impairment seeks to support tertiary institutions and NGOs serving people with visual impairment (PVIs) to acquire Chinese screen readers, Braille displays of 40 cells and accessories/portable devices, and to subsidise individual PVI with economic difficulties to purchase these devices to meet their needs on studying or employment. 

The Central Fund for Personal Computers aims to assist eligible persons with disabilities in acquiring the necessary computer facilities for self-employment or receiving supported employment services at home with the guidance and follow-up services provided by rehabilitation organisations or the Selective Placement Division of the Labour Department.
