As catalyzers our goal is to partner with other like-minded organizations to start projects that will promote peace and restore hope to the victims of war and violence.
HopE For Ukraine
(started 2022)
Urban Catalyst is working to feed the people of Ukraine in the midst of crisis. We have partners in Romania who are taking truckloads of food across the border into Ukraine, where it is being distributed to the more than 1.5 million internally displaced Ukrainians who have fled the frontlines of the war as well as being taken through the frontlines to the cities of Kyiv, Odessa, and Mariupol. Please join me by helping us provide as much food as possible. Each truckload contains approximately 3500 kg (7700lbs) of food and costs us about $5000. We need your help so that we can continue to serve the people of Ukraine. Every dollar helps and 100% of the proceeds donated at this link will go to help us provide this much needed food to the victims of the war in Ukraine.
Restoring Hope
(started 2019)
Restoring Hope is a holistic child development program that seeks to improve the lives of Syrian refugee children who have been impacted by war and violence by providing them with a quality education, in a safe, loving environment.
Prestige Learning Institute
(Started 2012)
Language skills are an integral part of the assimilation process for refugees who are resettled in the United States. In 2012 Urban Catalyst started PLI to provided low cost English classes for refugees. Successfully launched as a stand alone 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, PLI continues to partner with Urban Catalyst as it serves refugees in Houston.
