Founder of the Foundation, Mr. Chao-Kuo Chen, felt deeply that only education could improve the various types of capabilities of a person while serving as the Chairman of the parents association and that of the alumni association of Salu Elementary School; disadvantaged students, however, are usually ignored in this regard. Based on this belief, he began to emphasize the importance of education for students and the desire to take care of disadvantaged students began to thrive. The belief and desire were supported by the capable and willing in the locality.

Founder of the Foundation, Mr. Chao-Kuo Chen, insists that one has to keep in mind where he is from and learn to give and take. Indebted to those having helped him since he started his own business, at the 30th anniversary of Kong Chou Construction, the Taichung County Kong Chou Education Foundation was created to provide partial assistance to young students, demonstrating the enthusiasm and value of an entrepreneur for education. Give Back to the Locality Without Forgetting Where One’s From

The Foundation, in honor of the underlying purposes of public interest and incentives for younger generations, is devoted to caring for outstanding yet poor students and promoting local education and culture, providing disadvantaged students in the locality with a steady learning environment so that they can focus on their studies. In addition to scholarships, it also provides internship opportunities and subsidizes students’ after-school care expenses.
