A Hong Kong social enterprise called Inherited Sports is tackling inequality by helping ethnic minority communities break into the sports industry. They train people as certified coaches—11 men and two women so far—and even run swimming programs tailored for Muslim women, respecting cultural and religious needs. It’s about opening doors to careers that might otherwise feel out of reach.

Editor’s Note: Hong Kong’s ethnic minorities often face barriers in education and employment, and sports can be an overlooked path to opportunity. This isn’t just about fitness—it’s about giving people the tools to build sustainable careers while honoring their cultural identities. In a city where diversity isn’t always celebrated, initiatives like this quietly reshape who gets to participate, and thrive, in the workforce.
