Executive Team

Haru Kim @hharukim

Founder & President

Hi everyone, my name is Haru.
I’m a Year 11 student at Chinese International School, and I’m the founder of 4HOME.

I started 4HOME after realizing that food is more than something we consume—it’s a way people carry their culture, memories, and sense of home with them. While exploring underrepresented cuisines and listening to the stories behind them, I saw how often these narratives go unnoticed, even in a city as diverse as Hong Kong. 4HOME grew from a desire to create space for those stories to be seen, shared, and valued.

Outside of 4HOME, I enjoy debating and writing poetry—both of which shape how I think about voice, storytelling, and connection.
