Project Provision

Hi! I am Jane, a Grade 9 student from Hong Kong International School. As one of the UNITAR Youth Ambassadors representing the Asia Pacific region, I am passionate about SDG advocacy. Over the years, I have founded numerous enterprises and organizations, such as ProjectProvision, an organization which promotes conscious consumerism through innovation and education. Additionally, I have embarked on numerous projects for sustainable change, such as developing a bioplastic material made of everyday waste, and was a speaker at the Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF 2021). I hope to bring about positive change through my initiatives and advocacy work!

Lives Without Knives is a youth-led organisation aiming to simplify, advocate and implement a plant-based and sustainable lifestyle, through our social media platform, blog, live sessions, webinars, partnerships and most prominently, our 10-day vegan challenge package. As a team, we strive to empower the youth and adults alike to integrate veganism and sustainability into everyday lifestyles through our 3 part approach. Beginning with the education of the importance of a sustainable lifestyle, we then display how accessible it is through our collaborations with local sustainable businesses and lastly, walk you through the journey to sustainability with our newly launched Lives Without Knives Challenge Package.
