Sunwah Foundation

Sunwah Group, an international conglomerate based in Hong Kong, is committed to returning some of the rewards of its own success to the communities it serves. Since the 1970s, the Choi family has started to provide financial support for the establishment of kindergartens, primary schools and colleges in Zhongshan, the family’s hometown, Hong Kong and Macau.

The Sunwah Foundation was soon set up and its scope of services has been extended from education to science and technology and in recent years to arts and culture as well. Projects under the Sunwah Foundation now cover many cities in Mainland China and other countries.

The latest international project of the Foundation is to start building and developing Jonathan KS Choi cultural centres in the United Kingdom, Vietnam, Japan initially and will be extended to other countries. These cultural centres will be linked to promote understanding, appreciation and respect for the unique culture of each country to generate goodwill, paving the way to a more harmonious world. A Sunwah Foundation Global Young Leaders Network has been launched to provide a ready international platform for young leaders from various countries to grow and develop their international outlook, leadership skills and commitment to public and social services. The Network has its headquarters in Hong Kong with China, United Kingdom, Vietnam-Hanoi, Vietnam-Ho Chi Minh City, Japan, Macau, Cambodia, Canada and Peter Lougheed Leadership College Chapters for a start and will be expanded to other cities and countries.
