     The Social Welfare Department's Enhancing Employment of People with Disabilities through Small Enterprise Project funds non-governmental organisations to set up small enterprises or businesses to provide job opportunities for persons with disabilities. A cafe at the Hong Kong Museum of the War of Resistance and Coastal Defence is run by one such enterprise, and about 60 per cent of its employees are people with disabilities.
 
     News.gov.hk visited this subsidised cafe to learn more about how it nurtures an inclusive workplace. A representative from the Social Welfare Department explained the aim of the project.
