Every year, the United Nations celebrates the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) on 3 December which aims to promote the rights of people with disabilities in all aspects so that they can live in a fair and barrier-free society. The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation (HKSR) shares the same goal by not only providing physically rehabilitation service, but also focusing on disease prevention, health promotion and health-risk factor assessments.

SENsational Foundation, which Faridé founded in 2013 to address these issues, works to dispel misconceptions about disabilities that companies may hold in order to improve their workplace inclusivity.

The name ‘Empathy for Elderly’ is self-explanatory : able to step into senior citizens’ shoes and feel how they feel.

Since 2013, volunteers have actualised its mission through their services.
