Founder, The Thrive Initiative
Mathew is the founder of the Thrive Initiative which focuses primarily on providing comprehensive sexual health education and testing for LGBTQI+ out of multiple sites that are not hospitals or clinics. Within five years, Mathew directly impacted just under 4,500 members of the community. Mathew is also the co-founder of the Alofa Pride Initiative at a local grassroots organisation called Brown girl Woke which has led to the push for the action of decriminalising homosexuality in Samoa and the creation of a safe space for non-heteronormative young people. Here, education could be given on sexual health services without stigma and discrimination. Mathew advocates for both a multi-disciplinary and multilateral approach to the work that is done.
