How to Survive and Thrive during a Pandemic as Social Enterprises and NGOs 疫情下社企和慈善機構如何生存? (Eng)

"People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing." - John Porter Time has come where many purpose-driven organizations are utterly struggling. Coping with the "double hit" of the economic slowdown and the community's increasing demand is never an easy task. However, those stories inspire us when a few change agents are able to turn crises into opportunities for their organizations and the community, and in this session, we are going to explore: - How do the speakers' social enterprises or NGOs respond to the current economic downturn? - Where to find financial and volunteer resources? - What are some recommended coping strategies (i.e. how to reduce the cost of operation, how to create new sales channels)?
