HER x Lutheran Church x ENEEF hosted an event on May 22, 2026, to give old appliances a new lease on life and promote low-carbon living.
This event, titled "Green Spark: Appliance Doctor Phase II," was a collaborative effort between HER, the Lutheran Church, and Hony Capital. The event offered free diagnostics. Each senior citizen brought a malfunctioning appliance to the clinic, where HER's professional repair instructors immediately diagnosed and repaired it. This is not just a simple free repair clinic, but a course in green practices that integrates community care, good management principles, and the circular economy.
HER provided technical support, with repair instructors diagnosing the appliances on-site. Eight out of fourteen appliances were successfully repaired. The six that couldn't be repaired immediately were taken back to the workshop to have similar parts replaced with spare parts from the Home for the Return of Electric Appliances, ensuring they were given a second life. The Lutheran Church mobilized senior citizens to bring their "sick" appliances to the event, providing a warm and safe venue and connecting the activity with their ongoing pastoral care and social services to support underprivileged families. ENEEF assisted in positioning this free clinic as a living example of "repair instead of discard," concretizing the message of waste reduction and sustainable living.
🌟 【Benefits】 🌟
This event not only successfully helped many old appliances "reborn," saving them from ending up in landfills, but more importantly, it allowed elderly people to experience the low-carbon lifestyle concept of "repairing instead of buying" through practical application. Through this tripartite collaboration, we hope to closely integrate environmental protection with community integration, working together to build a sustainable and green Hong Kong!
As a result, a total of 14 appliances were handled, with a 100% success rate. 8 appliances were repaired on-site, accounting for 57%. The repairman diagnosed and fixed the appliances immediately, returning them to their owners on the spot. 6 appliances were taken back to the factory for repair, accounting for approximately 43%. Appliances that could not be repaired on-site were taken back to the Appliance Home factory for further repair before being returned to their owners.
