Great Wall Center is the first Asian oriented community based nonprofit agency in Malden/TriCity area that foci on the overall well being and integration of the Asian/Asian American populations, which increased from 5% of the city's population in 1990 to 15% in 2000 according to the U.S. Census. About one quarter of the city's residents speak limited English as a second language. Click for more demographic data if you are interested in the number.

Its initial endeavor was to work with local stakeholders in health and low income domains to address the Asian population's lack of community involvement, political representation, low socio-economic ceilings and lack of accessibility to essential services in the city of Malden.
