With a land mass of 1,104sq km and a population of 7 million, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated cities in the world.
The director of Society for Community Organisation (SoCO), Ho Hei Wah, told MailOnline: ‘Hong Kong is regarded as one of the richest cities in the world. However, lurking beneath this prosperity is great inequality in wealth and a forgotten group of poor people.
‘Hundreds of thousands still live in caged homes and wood-partitioned cubicles, while the unemployed, new-arrived families from China and children in poverty struggle for survival. SoCO’s underprivileged clients are increasing in numbers – while the city’s wealth continues to accumulate.’
