The founder of Huang Lieh-Ho Social Welfare Foundation, was born in Lugang, Changhua County, in 1911. His father passed away when he was very young thus he was raised by his mother. During World War II. Mr. Huang traveled to China and Japan on business. Through these visits, he was impressed by how prosperous Japan was, and disappointed at how politically corrupted China was at that time. Therefore, when he came back, he made up his mind to contribute to his country by improving the country’s economy. Through many challenges, difficulties, and hard work, he single handedly established two very successful corporations, the “Wei Chuan Foods Corp” and “Hotai Motor Corp” after World War II.

Mr. Huang firmly believed that when one “reap from the society, one also should disburse the benefits back to the society.” Therefore, in his retirement, he committed himself to charitable work and set up the Huang Lieh-Ho Social Welfare Foundation in 1996. His vision was that : through targeted activities provided by the foundation that aimed in promoting, supporting, and enriching positive developments during the entire human life cycle (i.e. childhood, youth, young adulthood, and senior stages), all citizens in Taiwan can lead more productive, successful, and fulfilling lives, and the Taiwan society will be more in harmony.
