Rudy and Bao Yan, a husband-and-wife team, are the visionary leaders behind Love On Ukraine — a ‘social good’ initiative birthed at the wake of the 2022 full-scale invasion of the country.  

​

An architect and entrepreneur by training and trade respectively, this couple has in the last decade navigated through unchartered waters — running their commercial practice Genesis Architects out of Singapore while at the same time pioneering pro-bono and missional works through their non-profit arm, Living Oaks. 

​

Both of them have lived in Mozambique among the poorest of the poor and witnessed extreme poverty and circumstances and, subsequently, dedicate their time and resources to building the lives of others and transforming communities all around the world.

​

Having works in the deep Bornean jungles and along the meandering riverbanks of the Amazon, Rudy and Bao Yan also support historically-marginalized people groups (in Rwanda) and child soldiers and brides (in DR Congo). Across Africa, Rudy has designed and built schools of various typologies – primary schools, vocational institutions, schools for the visually-handicapped as well as the world’s first oceanfront university. 

​

With a team of dedicated professionals and volunteers, Rudy and Bao Yan continue to expand their impact footprint and find needs they can meet –– serving the last, the lost and the least.
