A big thanks to our colleagues from K. Wah Group for serving as mentors in the "Strive and Rise Programme."

Additionally, they encouraged their mentees to explore a wider range of possibilities for their future development. The recent Graduation Ceremony for the first cohort of the "Strive and Rise Programme" brought mentors and mentees together, marking the successful completion of the programme.
The second cohort of the "Strive and Rise Programme" will soon begin. Upholding the Group's commitment to giving back to society, we will continue to provide sustained support for community development and youth empowerment.
