At Lim Hoon Foundation, education is a cause that is close to our hearts because we believe it lays the foundation to a better future. Since 2009, we have been working with SMU to support undergraduates from Singapore’s sandwich class, and have created the LHF Scholars Circle comprising past and present scholars, with the aim to build deeper connections, and to work together to perpetuate the virtuous cycle of giving.
— Andy Lim, Group CEO of JLFO
The Lim Hoon Foundation provides scholarships to so-called sandwich students—driven but disadvantaged youths in Singapore who don’t qualify for most of the country’s grades-based financial support. To date, it has granted over 1,600 bursaries totaling about S$1 million ($727,000) to students from primary school to pre-university levels.

As individuals, we cannot change the world, but we can make an impact by doing meaningful things, however small, to help others. I believe in giving back to society, hence I established the Lim Hoon Foundation (LHF) to award underprivileged students scholarships and bursaries so that they can pursue their education.
— John Lim, Co-Founder of ARA
