THEME: YOUTH MENTAL WELL-BEING
Youth mental health is one of the most urgent yet overlooked challenges in Asia today. Globally, around 20% of young people experience anxiety, and nearly one in four show symptoms of depression. Many struggle in silence—facing emotional isolation while access to care remains uneven across the region.
Landscape and Future Prospects
With the support of Li Foundation, the China Institute for Philanthropy and Social Innovation (CIPSI) undertook an in-depth study of Singapore’s evolving family philanthropy intermediary ecosystem. Through policy analysis and eight case studies, the report maps the rise of family philanthropic intermediaries and examines how they are shaping new models of giving, collaboration, and social impact across Asia. It also explores Singapore’s emergence as both a regional financial centre and a hub for philanthropy and impact. The report offers valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, philanthropists, and researchers seeking to strengthen philanthropy’s role in addressing complex social issues.
The book showcases how the participants challenged their limits and conquered the World Marathon Challenge and North Pole Marathon to inspire people to challenge their own limits and pursue their dreams boldly.
The book tells the stories behind the event which saw the largest number of people in history running 1045km round Taiwan in 19 days.
