Ebenezer School & Home for the Visually Impaired (Chinese: 心光盲人院暨學校), also known as Ebenezer School (Chinese: 心光學校) is a school for blind and visually impaired children in Pok Fu Lam, Hong Kong.
A German missionary, Martha Postler, created the school in 1897.[3] The school's first location was in Western District.[4] Postler, who originated from the Hildesheimer Blindenmission, created the school as she took care of four girls who experienced visual impairment.[3] The school moved into its current site in 1912 and it was officially established the following year.[4]
The school was under the supervision of Church Missionary Society during World War I while the Sisters continued to provide service.[5]
