Join us at the first GuideFong Bazaar on 8 September 2024, be a supportive guidefong, shop local, shop Home Kong!
Organized by the Foundation for Shared Impact (FSI) (https://www.shared-impact.com/) for our GuideFong initiative, in partnership with the Hive Sheung Wan, the first-ever GuideFong Bazaar is a multicultural event aiming to support members of FSI’s community of grassroots ethnically diverse entrepreneurs by connecting them with the broader local community.
What is GuideFong 街坊?
GuideFong 街坊商店 (https://www.guidefong.org/), named after the Cantonese word for “a neighbor or a friend in the local community”, is Hong Kong’s first-ever online directory dedicated to small and micro businesses owned and managed by ethnically diverse entrepreneurs, whose long-standing roots continue to enrich the vibrant cultural tapestry of the city today.
FSI has been cultivating high-impact entrepreneurs and community leaders since before our founding. Our commitment to supporting under-resourced entrepreneurs led us to launch GuideFong in 2023, to provide a platform to increase visibility for the businesses, promote social inclusion, and break down cultural barriers. The100+ ethnically diverse businesses listed on GuideFong are founded, owned, or operated by ethnically diverse entrepreneurs who participated in our annual Mentorship Program for Ethnically Diverse Entrepreneurs as mentees or mentors, whom our GuideFong team continuously engage with through regular community outreach sessions, and who connected with us via members of our entrepreneurial community.
