Founded by Hong Kong entrepreneur and philanthropist <a href="//www.gafencushop.com/the-power-list/char/H/?cn-s=DAVID+HARILELA">Dr. David Harilela</a>,&nbsp;The One&nbsp;annually acknowledges the ultimate unsung heroes from the 852 and beyond, awarding one with a grand cash prize of HK$200,000, and the two runner-ups with HK$80,000. The prize money is then used to bolster the humanitarian&#8217;s efforts and expand on the existing service projects they lead.
Taking home the grand-prize and honour as The One this year was Maria Law, a single mother to an intellectually disabled daughter. Ms. Law operates the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Holycafehk/">Holy Café</a> in Cheung Shan Wan, where she employs her daughter as well as other individuals with intellectual disabilities, giving them the chance to be employed and trained in&nbsp; restaurant service. The runner-ups were Chow Shu Tak, a street hawker in Jordan who provides care to the homeless and intellectually-disabled, and Nip Yeung Sing, a former businessman, who has developed programmes for Hong Kong&#8217;s elderly including funeral services and food distribution.
