ArtWalk 2006 Benefiting Charity

The 2006 benefiting charity will be the Society for Community Organization (SOCO).

SOCO is a non-profit community organisation formed in 1972 that believes in equal opportunity of participation and fair distribution of social resources to be the foundation of human rights.

Under the surface of Hong Kong’s apparent prosperity live people in poverty: lonely old people in cramped and crowded cages and dilapidated private tenements; residents in old run-down public housing estates; new immigrants; children; street-sleepers; low-paid workers, and your ‘average’ person who has no political voice. These people have long been the target of SOCO’s services.

The ArtWalk donation will specifically be used to assist in funding of one of SOCO’s community services: the Children’s Rights Project; the Civil Rights Education Centre; Cagehomes & Old Private Buildings Development Project; Elderly Rights Project; New Immigrants Project.
