Our Mission
To unlock potential, enhance adaptability and enable successful life transitions for neurodivergent girls aged 15-25, through an integrated ecosystem of empowerment, education, professional support and community built on evidence and accessible to all regardless of income.
Who We Are
Brown Rice Livelihood Foundation Limited, known by its program brand Petal, is a Hong Kong charitable foundation registered under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance (IRD Ref No. 91/13427).
Our singular mission is to empower neurodivergent girls aged 15 to 25 to break internal barriers and build independent, healthy, and connected lives. Brown Rice focuses on this specific age group because they represent a hidden demographic that is systematically underestimated and neglected by mainstream support structures. We are here to change that narrative.
Our Leadership
Professional, approachable leadership steers Brown Rice's programs and partnerships.

Chief Operating Officer
Complementing this vision is our Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Stanly Fung, who manages our talent, operations, and community growth. A former technology CEO and Google Shining Star in Asia awardee, he brings governance and scalable efficiency to the foundation while directing career-readiness and internship initiatives.
