The Jockey Club IT Scheme for People with Visual Impairment and the Central Fund for Personal Computers are open for applications until May 31, the Social Welfare Department has announced.
The Jockey Club scheme supports non-profit-making and non-governmental organisations providing services or schooling for the visually impaired to acquire advanced Chinese screen readers and Braille displays, and gives individuals subsidies to purchase these devices for study or work.
The Central Fund for Personal Computers provides eligible people with disabilities with computer facilities for self-employment or receiving supported employment services at home, with guidance and follow-up services from referring rehabilitation organisations or the Labour Department.
