今年對所有人來說都充滿挑戰，尤其是困在家的媽媽。香港458,000名女性的81%*因要處理家務而未能外出工作。在疫症期間，情況更為嚴重，學校停課令很多媽媽需要放棄工作和學習機會，以便照顧孩子。
去年，我們開展了媽媽創業家培育計劃，幫助弱勢媽媽逃離家中，發揮潛能。我們與十位來自不同階層的媽媽同行，一起發掘自己，一起學習創業。其中一位畢業生Elaine見證自己和家庭的轉變：「我真的十分感謝這個計劃，啟發我去找尋自己的方向，跳出舒適圈。」

It has been a challenging year for everyone. It is even more so for stuck-at-home moms. In Hong Kong, 81% of 458,000 women* are not working due to household duties. During COVID-19, we understand the situation worsened with a lot of moms deprived of jobs and learning opportunities to take care of kids when schools were closed.
Last year, we launched Moms4Moms Fellowship Program to help less-privileged moms break out from their homes and unleash their potential. We walked with ten moms from different walks of life on their road of self-discovery to even entrepreneurship. Elaine, one of the graduates, witnessed the transformation in
herself and her family, “I truly appreciate this program to inspire me to find my direction and jump out of my comfort zone.”
