About this event

Know Your GuideFong: Hong Kong

Support Community Businesses Advancing Sustainability in Hong Kong

An invitation to all Hongkongers who love Home Kong: Come to Central Market on 8 November to get to know your gaai fong and support the GuideFong community businesses that trade for the benefit of the community and sustainability of Hong Kong!

With products and services ranging from food and beverage, lifestyle and wellness, urban farming, art creation, to community services, the homegrown and ethnically diverse-owned businesses at the “Know Your GuideFong: Hong Kong” event play a crucial role in cultivating community resilience, building social capital, promoting cultural diversity and heritage, nurturing well-being, and promoting environmental conservation for the city.

Bring your families and friends to engage with community business owners for intercultural exchange while supporting their missions aimed at advancing the sustainable development of Hong Kong.

How this event positively impacts the community

Taking inspiration from the Cantonese word for gaai fong 街坊, meaning “neighbor” or “friends in the community”, FSI’s Project GuideFong 街坊商店 serves as a bridge between the small community businesses and the local community, allowing the public to explore and engage with not just the entrepreneurs behind the scenes but also their service and product offerings grounded in sustainability. We call them “GuideFong community businesses” for several reasons. In addition to cultivating resilience and building social capital through uplifting disadvantaged communities, these ethnically diverse-owned businesses also preserve the city’s vibrant diversity and heritage by connecting ethnically diverse individuals to their roots while fostering intercultural exchange. Through innovative approaches, these businesses nurture the well-being of Hongkongers through arts and reconnection with nature. By transforming waste into resources and integrating sustainability principles into procurement and manufacturing processes, these businesses help steer Hong Kong towards a circular economy with environmental conservation in mind. This level of community connection is increasingly crucial to the flourishing of our society, at a time when the city grapples with the loneliness crisis and its lowest-ever position on the World Happiness Report.
