Reimagining Education for Tomorrow's Innovators
Our Story
The Pamela Yu Foundation was established in 2025 by Angus Yip in honor of his late mother, Pamela Yu. Driven by personal experience and a vision for more inclusive education, Angus created this foundation to provide alternative pathways for learners who think differently and struggle in traditional educational environments.
The Problem
20,000
Gifted children (3% of students) lack tailored opportunities
7%
of children have ADHD
6%
experience anxiety
5%
suffer from depression
These students often struggle to succeed in traditional schooling environments despite their potential. Many fall through the cracks of an education system not designed for their unique thinking patterns.
