Sports and the arts serve as essential pillars of youth development and vital connectors within the Greater Bay Area. With over four decades of dedication to Chinese athletic development, Jianlibao Company Limited operates under its guiding philosophy of "giving back to the society from which it thrives." Partnering with TWGHs, an institution with over 150 years of commitment to charitable education in Hong Kong, China, reflects a shared mission to cultivate future generations.
Addressing the financial constraints faced by talented student-athletes and artists, the scheme provides comprehensive backing for high-potential individuals. Support covers professional training fees, international competition expenses, and specialized equipment purchases. Leveraging Jianlibao's extensive Mainland network, the program also builds bridges to top-tier sports and arts institutions, organizing training camps and observation visits with national teams to broaden students' professional horizons.
The scheme received an enthusiastic response during its initial application phase. Following a rigorous selection process, nearly 200 students have been shortlisted to receive grants. Mr. Orlando Ho, Chairman of TWGHs, noted that Jianlibao's partnership injects fresh momentum into the program: "This support not only eases the financial burden on student families, but also offers invaluable cross-regional exchange opportunities, empowering local youth to develop into well-rounded sports and arts professionals with a global outlook."
