Striving for Harmony and the Betterment of Humankind
Our Mission
The Lui Prize honours individuals and organisations whose work contributes to the development of a better and more harmonious world and aims to provide these laureates with the financial resources to continue their work and even expand its scope. Laureates can come from anywhere in the world and from any field of endeavour, and it is hoped they will also serve as role models for young people.
Since 2020, the Lui Prize has brought an additional focus to its work, aiming to make a meaningful difference at the local, as well as at the global, level. Through collaborations with partners in Hong Kong, support has been given to programmes which benefit local communities, particularly in the areas of education and youth development.
Our Core Values

Sustainability – maintaining a sustainable ecological balance, along with the integrity of the planet’s natural capital, while also providing for the needs of future generations.

Welfare Betterment – enhancing human well-being, in terms of access to basic life amenities, such as food and nutrition, clean drinking water, sanitation, healthcare and education, as well as to opportunities for productive employment and economic advancement.

LUI Che Woo Prize – Prize Introduction
The LUI Che Woo Prize is the first of its kind of international cross-sector award, honouring and recognising individuals or organisations who have selflessly contributed to world civilisation with words and deeds. Aspired to sow seeds of benevolence, the LUI Che Woo Prize does not only recognise the awardees’ past accomplishments but also encourages them to keep up their momentum and inspire others to build a better world together.
Global Citizenship at Home Programme
The struggle to mitigate, and hopefully someday reverse, the devastating impact of climate change promises to be a long and arduous one. It is therefore vital that we start preparing the next generation of leaders who will steer Hong Kong through a future based on sustainability. Recognising this pressing need, the LUI Che Woo Prize supported University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Social Science's Global Citizenship at Home Programme for senior students, as they prepared to launch their careers. Through workshops and discussions, the programme helped deepen the students’ understanding of sustainability goals within a local context, and of the relationship between sustainability and broader social, political and environmental issues.
