In July of 1972, Hong Kong philanthropist Sally Aw Sian set up the Aw Boon Haw Foundation, a charitable organisation, to formally continue the philanthropic work started by her father, Aw Boon Haw.
In October 1993, Miss Aw set up a branch of the foundation in Fujian, China after she made her first visit to her home town in Fujian. In 2004, the Fujian Foundation branch was named Aw Boon Haw Foundation (Fujian).
The Foundation is a private non-profit family organisation; funding comes solely from Sally Aw Sian.
