About the Donor
Founded in 1858 as a clan association, the Char Yong (Dabu) Association, Singapore’s mission was to look after the welfare of Hakka immigrants that migrated to Singapore from the Dabu County, Guangdong Province. It set up the Char Yong (Dabu) Foundation in September 1995 with a vision to make an impact in the area of education, promotion of Hakka and Chinese culture and charity benefitting the Dabu Hakka community in Singapore and the Singapore society at large.
