Senior Citizen Home Safety Association (SCHSA) was founded by a group of passionate individuals in 1996 in response to a prolonged cold spell during which more than one hundred elders living alone were found dead. The Association is a self-financing social enterprise and charitable organization in Hong Kong that offers 24-hour personal caring and emergency assistance services to the elderly and others in need through their core service, Personal Emergency Link, with the mission to enhance the living quality of the elderly in the community through the use of technology and people-oriented services.

A Flag Day was held on 6 August 2014 to raise funds to support the elderly and the daily operations of the Association. Our students became the flag sellers to support the Association.
