Our Founder

Providing children worldwide with hope, courage and resources to stand tall in their communities.

The Michelle Chiou Foundation founded by Michelle Chiou of Newport, California, was birthed out of the desire to give back to others after a rewarding career in manufacturing, import, and commercial real estate development, with current holdings and partnerships in the U.S. mainland, Hawaii, and Taiwan.

Having a heart for children, Ms. Chiou, after putting together a core team of people, committed to launch her foundation and set foot on her journey with projects in Indonesia.  Since then, the foundation has been moving in the direction of serving other programs, and endeavors in Myanmar, Taiwan, Africa, and Mexico as well as other places around the world.

​Our Mission
​

• Provide funding, encouragement, and support to schools and orphanages

                All are critical to sustaining children ​in our economically ​and morally-depressed times.

• Treat children as the ultimate benefactors of our efforts. 

                They are the reason we exist.

• Perceive children as the leaders of tomorrow.

                We want to see them stand tall in their communities, paying forward the hope and inspiration that was afforded them.
​

• Conduct on-site assessments on a routine basis.

​                We utilize field experienced consultants equipped to identify and address the needs and nuances of the children.
​​

• Get off our adult horse and love at the kid level.

​                (Making everything that was just said, just a little easier to understand).​
