Live a Healthy Life
at Kwun Lung
Background
Kwun Lung Lau is a public housing estate in the Central and
Western district of Hong Kong. 24% of its residents aged above
60, this high portion of elderly residents implies an increasing
healthcare need. Moreover, most elders contacted are
suffering from deteriorating body functions, chronic diseases
and have weak social network.
In recent years, about 500 new families moved into Kwun Lung Lau, in which 500
children are aged below 12. Due to financial consideration and lack of knowledge on
nutrition, these underprivileged families mainly eat fast food.
