香港首個雙語創業媽媽平台 – 香港創業媽媽正式成立
打開教養子女新角度
[香港：12月1日] 根據近日一項調查顯示，高達26% 的香港女士選擇為家庭而放棄事業，是亞洲地區之首。就此證明越來越多香港女性珍惜教養孩子的重要性，但同時間也反映香港的政府政策和就業機會未能給予這些女性足夠的彈性。然而卻有不少女性希望工作上有足夠的彈性好讓他們能同時間兼顧照顧孩子的重任。
香港創業媽媽是首個中英文支援媽媽創業的社交平台。一般而言媽媽要照顧日常家庭的大小事務，通常也會漸漸地迷失了自己。媽媽的連平日也沒有足夠的睡眠，要維繫着自己的理想是一樣奢侈品。但是當看着孩子為着自己的小小成就而感到驕傲時，一切辛酸也拋諸腦後。
香港創業媽媽的宗旨是:
推動和支援媽媽，丈夫和孩子們對創業的精神；
提升婦女的自我價值和成就感，以平衡她們的家庭，事業和社區發展;
讓孩子更多參與父母的工作生活，並將父母作為他們的榜樣。
「教養子女已經不再是訓話和提點，當父母的一定要以身作則作為孩子的一個好榜樣」香港創業創辦人王茵媚分享。「小時候我看到爸爸在工廠內工作的辛勞，明白到一分耕耘一分收穫。現在的父母很多時候老在電腦前忙着，孩子總是很難明白爸爸媽媽是做什麼的。賺錢這回事最孩子心目中也變得模糊。」
香港創業媽媽的承諾不單止是以媽媽為服務對象，她們的另一半和孩子們也可以同時間得益。「創業媽媽背後的另一半是不可缺少的功臣，沒有丈夫的支持我是沒法安心工作。」Nutty Concept 的Florence讚揚。「同時間當孩子看着我一步一步在工廠忙碌著，更令我的工作變得更加有意義。」
12月1及2日一班創業媽媽決定聚在一起舉辦一個市集，當天香港創業媽媽也正式成立。活動當天集齊了超過20個攤位及八位專題講者的分享，當中有一位別具意義的攤位，「小小創意家」CAN-DO，小朋友將捐出自己的玩具義賣，籌得的善款及貨尾將搬至明愛綠色小腳板。「我們也希望小朋友玩多體貼一下創業的辛酸，就算只是一個小時也好！」
香港創業媽媽將推出更多活動給媽媽，丈夫和孩子們。要更多詳情請瀏覽：www.hkmomtrepreneurs.com

For Immediate release
First ever bilingual momtrepreneur platform – HONG KONG MOMTREPRENEURS is officiated
Bringing new perspectives to parenting
[Hong Kong, December 1] Hong Kong is ranked no 1 in Asia with 26% of women who left their career to take care of the families, according to a recent research by HSBC. More women in Hong Kong treasure the well being of their children; it also demonstrates that this city lacks the policy and employment opportunity which can provide enough flexibility to these ladies. Yet there is an option for these mothers to have better control over their own time to have a real work life balance so to be there when the children need them.
Hong Kong Momtrepreneurs is the first bilingual social media platform to support mothers who want to start a business. Mothers are always busy in taking care of the family chaos and often lose themselves. Pursuing their dreams is certainly a luxury when mothers do not even get enough sleep at night. However in the very moment when the mothers can feel how their achievements meant the world to the little ones, all the sleepless nights working hard just vanish.
The objectives of Hong Kong Momtrepreneurs are:-
to support and promote entrepreneurship among mothers, husbands and children by providing a platform to create opportunities through networking, trainings and events;
to advance the self fulfilment and achievement of women to balance themselves among families, careers and community;
to engage more involvements by children in their parents’ work life and enhance the parents as role models for their children.
“Parenting is no longer about teaching or coaching the children, it is about being the role models for them and being the person you want your child to be,” shared by Lena, founder of Hong Kong Momtrepreneurs. “When I was young I saw my dad sweating and working hard in the factory which had given me a strong conviction to work hard to earn every single dime. Nowadays, parents are often working in front of the computers or in another context that children do not understand. Earning money is no longer in a form that young kids can feel.”
HK Momtrepreneurs is set up not only for the mothers but also extending the reach to the better halves and their offsprings. “The spouses are key success behind any momtrepreneur and being there supporting us on every step has allowed us stay focus at work,” founder of Nutty Concept Florence applauded. “Having our kids see me focus at work to do it step by step at the factory just make this business having more callings than it already has.”
A group of mommies got together to organise a pop up Christmas event on December 1 and 2 where Hong Kong Momtrepreneurs was officially launched. Among 20 vendors and 8 speakers, there is an one of its kind – KiDtrepreneur CAN-DO, where children donate their own toys and sell them at the stall. Proceeds and any unsold toys will be donated to Caritas Green Baby. “We want our children to also experience selling and getting a feel of the challenge even for an hour only.”
More events and trainings will be rolling out by HK Momtrepreneurs for mothers, husbands and their children. For more details: www.hkmomtrepreneurs.com
