We are a global movement built on Nelson Mandela’s belief in the power of sport

In 2000, Nelson Mandela shared his vision that “Sport has the power to change the world” and for 25 years Laureus Sport for Good has turned this belief into action - using sport to help disadvantaged children and young people overcome challenges, unlock their potential and create brighter futures.

Today, that story is being written in Hong Kong.

Why it matters

In Hong Kong, too many children and young people are missing out on the physical, emotional and social benefits that sport can unlock. Over 90% are not getting enough physical activity, nearly two-thirds of secondary-age young people report feeling overwhelmed by academic stress, and more than 40% show signs of emotional strain. For children from low-income families, ethnic minority communities and those with special educational needs, these pressures are even greater.


What we do

We do more than fund programmes. Laureus Sport for Good Hong Kong create, develop and invest in programmes and partnerships that use sport as a practical tool for inclusion, wellbeing and opportunity. We also strengthen organisations, build evidence and help grow a more effective Sport for Development ecosystem in Hong Kong and across Asia.
