About CatComm

Catalytic Communities (www.catcomm.org) leverages peer-to-peer support by gathering community leaders together to make change in communities around the world. The organization offers, online and in three languages (Portuguese, English and Spanish) a unique Community Solutions Database, featuring over 125 community programs from 9 countries and visited by over 20,000 people each month. "Leaders in squatter communities around the world don't have to reinvent the wheel if they can locate and learn from peers elsewhere who've tackled significant challenges like sewerage, unemployment, and HIV," explains Executive Director Theresa Williamson. They also run a community technology center, the "Casa" in downtown Rio de Janeiro that serves as a space for exchange among local leaders.
