Local Charity Box of Hope Blesses Our Kids!

Love and Care for the Heart

Since 2010, Hong Kong has been ranked No. 1 worldwide for the longest lifespan of its residents. Experts suggested this was due to the city’s well-developed economy and quality healthcare services, which helped to raise average life expectancy to 85.4 years.

Therefore, it is imperative that we assist the elderly to maintain good heart health.
