Operated by NGO Caritas, HUB13 in To Kwa Wan has a halal kitchen, gym and social activities, and complements similar government-led spaces

In the old but bustling Hong Kong neighbourhood of To Kwa Wan, a small community living room with a dedicated halal kitchen offers a vital sanctuary for Muslim residents like Azmat Tariq.

The 2,000 sq ft (186 square metres) space, which is called HUB13, on Pau Chung Street is where the Pakistani homemaker, who lives with her husband and three children in a tenement building with no lift, can take a rare moment of respite.

There, Azmat gathers with others from the neighbourhood, learns about health management and can seek help for any problems she faces.
