Driven by her passion to unify and empower her sisters, Sister K started annual weekend sessions with her sisters and cousins in 2013. The impact of these sessions demonstrated a need to expand and gave birth to the Sister K Foundation Non-Profit Company (NPC) which was registered in 2020. The foundation is a sisterhood that aims to assist women in realizing their true worth by inspiring and empowering them to maximize their potential and fulfil their purpose.
We envision a world where women and girls belong to a sisterhood where they are inspired and empowered to maximize their potential and fulfil their purpose.
We want to inspire and equip women to realise they are precious, loved and matter while raising a generation of leaders with multigenerational influence.
Our values are embedded in the acronym SISTER, which are the guiding principles behind our attitude and actions.
Sincere. We say what we mean and mean what we say, no pretense.
Inspiring. We inspire each other to maximize our potential.
Serving. We use our gifts to serve our generation.
Thankful. We maintain an attitude of gratitude.
Empowering. We assist one another to achieve our goals.
Respect. We accept and value each other for who we are.
Our initiatives are geared towards contributing to achieving the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Achieve gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls.
Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
In a world where girls face challenges such as teenage pregnancy, dropping out of school, declining academic performance, poor self-image, and mental health issues, mentorship is imperative. We believe and have witnessed that with the right support and guidance, girls can overcome these challenges and become great leaders with multigenerational influence.
We provide a platform where girls are mentored and get training in essential life skills. Through our Femtors and Femtees campaign, we partner with femtors who pay it forward by volunteering their time to share their knowledge and experience to empower femtees. We also provide the femtors with training that empowers them to become effective in the support they give their femtees. Femtors are also encouraged to create sisterhoods in their own families, communities and areas of influence where women and girls can share their knowledge and experiences, inspire and support each other to pursue their dreams, and achieve their goals.
We host various sessions for women and girls in different contexts. These include training, sessions with femtees, conferences & camps, workshops & webinars, and short courses. Whatever the session, whatever the length, whatever the format, our aim is always to leave the participants inspired and equipped to maximise their potential, and ultimately fulfill their purpose.
Fertility challenges and loss of pregnancy remain a taboo and this makes it very difficult for couples to heal as they mostly do not have safe spaces where they can openly talk about the grief and pain as they would normally do with other losses. For women particularly, their self-worth is also challenged. We believe through creating a safe space to openly talk and share experiences, women can begin to heal and move towards regaining self-worth and overcome the temptation to devalue themselves because of fertility challenges. We partner with various organisations and add our voice to these important conversations.
Bringing a new life into this world and taking a newborn baby home should be a joyous occasion for every mother. Unfortunately for some mothers, this is not the case, as they’re faced with plenty of uncertainties. What should be the joy of motherhood can become a woe for mothers, especially teens who do not have the financial means to cater to their newborns. Some of these young mothers have been abandoned by their families, including the father of their babies, who leave them to fend for themselves.
Through our campaign, we seek to restore mothers’ joy and give them hope for their child’s future and restore the joy of taking their newborns home. We provide the mothers with pamper packs and baby essentials such as clothes, bottles, toiletries, and nappies.
When it comes to assisting the girls and women in our communities, we don’t ignore their immediate needs for food, hygiene, pads, stationery, clothing etc. We demonstrate love and sisterhood not only through our empowerment sessions but also through our Karing hands programs where through the generous donations of our partners and supporters, we are able to provide towards meeting these needs.
We rely on donations to keep making a difference in the lives of girls and women in our communities. We’d be grateful if you could consider partnering with us and giving towards our initiatives. Every contribution, whether once off, monthly or annual will go a long way in empowering girls and women.
