Wu Zhi Qiao (Bridge to China) Charitable Foundation HKUST Chapter

Wu Zhi Qiao (Bridge to China) Charitable Foundation HKUST Chapter

The Wu Zhi Qiao (Bridge to China) Charitable Foundation is an organization in Hong Kong that mobilizes university students, professionals, and volunteers to actualize sustainable bridge and infrastructure projects in rural China. The entire project is prepared by university students like You! From Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) all the way to marketing, administration, etc. with the support of the Charitable Foundation.

Working with other university chapters in Hong Kong and around China, the HKUST Bridge to China Chapter has improved the livelihood of the less fortunate in remote areas of China with urgent bridge-building needs. Furthermore, with the charitable foundation, this chapter aims to inspire appreciation, respect for the preservation of local culture and ecological environment, as well as promote and enhance sustainability.

As Sir David Akers Jones, our former Honorary Chairman of the Charitable Foundation once said, “Our aim is to reach out to people living in remote places, to build the bridges they need, and to build bridges of the mind and spirit cementing people together.”
