Sabrina Ho

Type of donor: 
Private

Sabrina Ho is UNESCO’s youngest strategic partner. At only 27 years old, Ms. Ho signed a strategic partnership worth USD 1.5 million, within the framework of the UNESCO Convention for the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (2005).

In 2018, Ms. Ho and UNESCO launched, "You Are Next: Empowering Creative Women", an initiative to reduce the gender gap in the digital creative industries in developing countries. It particularly targets young women under the age of 40 to provide them with access to funding, infrastructure, equipment and coproduction opportunities in the digital creative industries.

Following completion of her MBA, Sabrina Ho focused her work on contemporary art in Asia. Since 2016, she has been leading an annual art fair for young artists across the region, presenting a unique collection of traditional and contemporary works.

She also launched the "Y Class" Creative Design Courses and the "Y Show", a networking platform for design students. During this event, young students have the opportunity to present their new ideas, to exchange with international designers and to explore new markets.

Knowing the importance of investing in the creative industries and the economic potential of digital art, especially in developing countries, Sabrina Ho decided to expand her scope of action by contributing to the economic and social growth of young women of her generation, through her partnership with UNESCO.
