The Central Fund for Personal Computers
(For persons with disabilities engaging in self-employment or supported employment service)
 |
Introduction
|
To support persons with disabilities to integrate into society, the Social Welfare Department (SWD) all along encourages persons with disabilities to take up supported employment service or open employment. However, due to physical disabilities or other reasons, some persons with disabilities' opportunities of attending open employment or supported employment service are affected. To address the issue, SWD set up the Central Fund for Personal Computers in 1997 to assist persons with disabilities in acquiring computers for self-employment or receiving supported employment service at home. For details, please read the Information Note.
