Mr. Wong Chak Chui's Story
The late Mr. Wong Chak Chui was born in June, 1929, in TangTouCun village (塘頭村) located in Shihi (石獅鎮), a city in the southern Fujian (福建) province.
In 1957, Mr. Wong Chak Chui decided to move to Hong Kong at the age of 28. He endured years of hardship; but he persisted and was determined to stay in Hong Kong to develop his career. After a few decades, his efforts finally paid off and his business grew considerably, establishing a strong foundation in Hong Kong.
Most of the Hong Kong entrepreneurs from Fujian are patriots who share deep love for their home and their country. Mr. Wong Chak Chui was also amongst the group of passionate patriots who had been making generous donations to support cultural and educational development projects in Hong Kong and Mainland China. These charity projects had benefited numerous communities and their success were only made possible through Mr. Wong Chak Chui’s continuous generosity. In the spirit of Mr. Wong Chak Chui’s philanthropy, Mr. Richard Wong Chung Tak established The Wong Chak Chui Charitable Foundation to continue the proactive support for future community and social needs.
The following are some of the past charity projects sponsored by the Wong Chak Chui Charitable Foundation Limited (constantly updated):

Under the continuous effect from the Novel Coronavirus, a shortage of protective face mask in Hong Kong has become apparent. Throughout this difficult period, Wong Chak Chui Charitable Foundation has managed to source some protective face masks from various overseas retailers, with an aim to donate these to the people most in need. With Regeneration Society’s support, the first batch of masks were successfully distributed to over 800 elderly people aged 65 or above on 12th February 2020. Wong Chak Chui Charitable Foundation is working tirelessly to source more protective medical products through different channels. We wish to donate these to more people in Hong Kong who are in need, and with this effort, we hope to lessen the burden that has been brought on by this disease. In the future, Wong Chak Chui Charitable Foundation will continue to monitor the development of the Novel Coronavirus, and give its full support in fighting this disease.
