Welcome to our new site!

We hope you enjoy Catalytic Communities' new website providing background about our work, progress and plans. But also focused on addressing the historic stigma facing Rio's favelas. We have new content programmed for every week, including fact-filled truth bombs and cutting edge research. We've designed this site to walk you through what favelas are, how we support them, and what our research indicates as actionable policies that can support them.
