Our Blog
Communities that experience increased health and human rights violations seldom have platforms to voice their lived experiences. Our community blog The Catalyst changes that.

Xiomi “Before Asia Catalyst, I did not think that we could make real change. I thought, ‘maybe others can do it, but we cannot.’ Now, I don’t just think that we can make change in the lives of people living with HIV. We already have.” —Xiaomi, The Lingnan Partner Community Support Center, a PLHIV & MSM CBO in China
