Social Welfare Department invites applications for IT schemes for persons with disabilities
The Social Welfare Department (SWD)’s IT Scheme for People with Visual Impairment and Central Fund for Personal Computers are now open for applications until 10 October 2024.
The IT Scheme for People with Visual Impairment supports non-profit-making organisations providing services or schooling for people with visual impairment (PVIs) and tertiary institutions. It aims to help them acquire advanced Chinese screen readers, Braille displays and accessories/portable devices for browsing the Internet. The scheme also subsidises individual PVIs with financial difficulties to acquire these assistive devices to meet their educational or employment needs.
Separately, the Central Fund for Personal Computers aims to assist people with disabilities to acquire computer facilities for self-employment at home or receiving supported employment service at home.
