The Jockey Club IT Scheme for People with Visual Impairment and the Central Fund for Personal Computers are open for applications until November 30, the Social Welfare Department has announced.
The Jockey Club scheme helps non-governmental and non-profit-making organisations providing services or schooling for the visually impaired to buy advanced Chinese screen readers and Braille displays, and gives individuals subsidies to purchase the 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.
Visit the Social Welfare Department's website or the CyberAble.net website for details.
