I joined because I was invited by a friend who strongly recommended I join. I am honestly too swamped with my academic work to be connected to what is going on. Catalyst is too big for me. I wish I could find my academic voice and purpose in it, but I fear that if I raise my hand I'll be roped in at a level that is not healthy for me at the moment.

Vanhu Tech is designed to change the way the "social impact game" is played by equalizing the power imbalance between funders and beneficiaries, creating an equitable seat at the table for smaller, local implementers, and ensuring a higher percentage of funding goes direct to legitimate implementers who truly serve their community. In doing so, we're creating 'organic sustainability' as local implementers are empowered to implement the solutions that are best suited for their context and need.

Catalyst 2030 is an inspiring movement of social entrepreneurs and innovators responding to a global call to action for people and planet.

As a changemaker, I am driven by the vision of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. This vision can only be realized through collaboration, innovation, and learning across sectors and regions. That is why I am thrilled to join Catalyst 2030, a global movement of social entrepreneurs and innovators who are working together to transform systems and create a better future for all. By being part of Catalyst 2030, I will have the opportunity to connect with like-minded peers and partners from around the world, exchange knowledge and best practices, and co-create solutions to the complex challenges facing our planet.

More focused working groups. We are in education and every time we feel we are linking with a group, it is at a completely different level to what we are targeting. Also find that often some of the presentations and events are not communicated correctly and we sign up for events that are not related to our field of expertise. This makes us reluctant to join as time is limited.
