People-oriented approach

In 1996, Dr. Lee took the first step in the development of Wofoo Social Enterprises (WSE) by setting up Grace Nursing Home. From that point on, the service scope of WSE has gradually expanded to youth development, education and community services. In 1998, The Warehouse Teenage Club became one of the affiliates of Wofoo Social Enterprises, aiming to encourage teenagers to develop creativity and becoming their second home. Since 2002, Wofoo has been committed to nurturing the next generations by establishing the first primary school under the Direct Subsidy Scheme in the New Territories – W F Joseph Lee Primary School. Apart from donating, sponsoring, and promoting diversified community services, Wofoo is also an advocate of social policies. Over the years, we have been exploring, studying and brainstorming people-oriented and forward-looking policy suggestions, hoping to serve as public reference for building a better society.

Take the initiative to innovate

In the foreseeable future, Wofoo Social Enterprises will keep discharging the responsibilities of a corporate citizen, seeking more advanced development of social services. We endeavour to coordinate various social service units, so that they collaborate with one another to share resources and create synergy. Apart from this, we strive to build and consolidate support network with various fields not only to facilitate communication but also to call on more individuals and parties to join hands with us to promote the belief of “Harmony brings a family prosperity, cohesion makes a nation wealthy” that leads to a better society.

Unite different sectors

Dr. Joseph Lee strongly believes that each organisation has its own mission to serve the community by different means, and the key to achieve that is on how one can create synergy. It is his strong belief that CO-SHARING, CO-CREATION and CO-WORKING can pool resources from different sectors, increase connections and beneficiaries, as well as foster direct and close collaboration with the government and other commercial organisations. These in turn strengthen the effectiveness of various projects and serve more people in need, benefiting the society on a wider scope.

Promote harmony and care

As a social industrialist, Dr. Lee regards giving back to the society as a duty, constantly motivating himself, and promotes harmony and care to his family, work partners, friends and all walks of life. As we affect one another individually, together we achieve so much more. We hope that more citizens will contribute their strength and work together to build a mutually harmonious and caring society in which the benefactors and beneficiaries can experience together.
