The Factory for the Blind is one of the service departments operated by the Hong Kong Society for the Blind and is the only Factory for the blind in Hong Kong. Since its establishment in 1963, the Factory has not only provided blind and disabled workers with sheltered employment, but also dignity and a training ground for further career advancement.
It is a three-storey construction in Mok Cheong Street, Tokwawan. At the junction of Mok Cheong Street and Tokwawan Road (土瓜灣道), the building is quite eye-catching in its peach colour. As time goes by, the building becomes more prominent, in comparison with the surrounding high-rise buildings, if it is not redeveloped.
The facotry is to provide sheltered employment and with job training to people with visual impairment and other disabilities, and hopefully they can become contributing members of the society. In addition, a variety of social and recreational activities would be organized regularly for their personal development.
The building is 51 years old in 2014.
