WHO WE ARE

 

Sistah Sistah Foundation is an Organization run by women who have a collective need to help women and protect young girls. Our foundation is based on a sisterhood that we created to feel safe, heard, seen and sane

WHAT WE DO

 

The Sistah Sistah Foundation is a Feminist NGO that seeks to further the rights of women, children and minorities through gender equal programmes created to educate, empower and protect the groups we work with. An equal world is a safer world and through it’s programmes, SSF works to not only equip it’s groups with knowledge and resources but with a voice that will demand equality and an end to oppression. At the core of all the organisation’s work is the declaration that the rights of women are in fact inalienable, integral and indivisible to all human rights and fundamental freedoms

WHY WE EXIST

 

The SSF exists to demand that women, children and minority groups live free with no fear of violence, harassment or victimisation. The organisation believes that in order to achieve an equal and developed society, we not only have to include women and all marginalised groups in decision making but also holding government and policy makers accountable to ensure all programmes and funds meant for the advancement of women and children are used and implemented effectively.

We have worked with over 1000 women and children in various programmes ranging from rape culture classes to literacy programmes. Our vision is to entirely dismantle the patriarchal culture that is rampant in African communities.

    Our End Period Poverty Campaign provides free pads to underprivileged girls, sex workers and disabled women. We also host workshops and rallies on the dangers of rape culture and we create educational content on SRHR.
