“Regular readers report higher wellbeing and life satisfaction compared to lapsed and non-readers. They also benefit from improved sleep, concentration, empathy, and creativity.” – The Reading Agency, 2024 Report
Why Should you Support HKILF?
With your generosity our registered charity non-profit organisation provides programming for the general public, emergent writers, marginalised communities, students, and other literacy advocates (through access to top quality literary figures from around the world). We champion the stories, words, and languages that are found in a literary rich society through complimentary ticketing, discounted pricing and invitations to exclusive literary events.
According to the most recent PISA study, summarised by CUHK, reading literacy scores of Hong Kong students have dropped significantly, knocking them out of the global top ten. (Tse, HKFP, 6/12/2023)
Event highlights: International Women’s Day, LGBTQ artists, Mental Health, Well-being, and Creative Workshops.
