“Without discipline I think everything will fall apart.” - Ted Kwan

Ted is a co-founder of a social enterprise. He will share an inspiring story about his dream and his pursuit of societal betterment in his hometown of Hong Kong.
Despite his father's bankruptcy during Ted's early years, his family endured years of debt without losing hope. This experience shaped Ted's perspective, leading him to believe that impoverished families can still find happiness if given the opportunity to rise and become self-sufficient.

Fifteen years ago, Ted dedicated his after-work hours to pursue his passion. He invested in a social enterprise focused on assisting marginalized and ex-offender youth, helping them reintegrate into society. This marked the first step toward his dream of uplifting disadvantaged groups in Hong Kong.

Ted's ultimate goal is to inspire Hong Kong citizens to support social enterprises. By encouraging consumption from these enterprises, funds are directed towards employing marginalized individuals, while customers also benefit from the goods and services offered. Over the years, Ted's initiative has evolved into a social enterprise platform, bringing his dream closer to becoming a reality.

Ted's journey is an ongoing one, but his unwavering dedication and the growth of the social enterprise platform demonstrate that his vision is gradually being fulfilled. He continues to work tirelessly to create positive change and empower the less fortunate in Hong Kong.
