Where we focus

Where we focus

 
Laureus Sport for Good Hong Kong focuses on the outcomes sport can help unlock for children and young people in Hong Kong and across Asia. Through 5 core social areas, we establish interventions that develop essential life skills, cognitive function, and resilience in children and youth across Hong Kong and Asia, driving measurable progress towards UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Inclusive Society
Laureus HK supports sport-based approaches that help children and young people feel seen, connected and included, particularly where social exclusion, marginalisation or unequal access limit participation and belonging. This includes work with young people from low-income families, ethnic minority backgrounds and those with special educational needs, as well as communities where access, confidence and connection need to be strengthened.

Health and Wellbeing
Laureus HK backs programmes that use sport to support mental wellbeing, confidence, resilience and healthier behaviour, recognising the pressures many young people in Hong Kong face in daily life. When sport is delivered with intention, it can help children and young people build self-belief, manage stress, feel more connected and develop healthier routines and relationships.

Education
Sport can support attendance, engagement, confidence and school belonging for children and young people who need stronger pathways through learning.

Employability
Sport can help build communication, confidence, resilience and other transferable skills that contribute to future readiness and opportunity.

Gender Equity
Sport can help create safer, more confident and more equal opportunities for girls and young women to participate, grow and lead.
