Overview
Mission
Our mission is to provide health/wellness education to young girls and women in developing communities. We believe every woman deserves access to tools and information for living a healthy life. Sistergood provides facilitated learning and guides young girls and women into developing skills for self-discovery, self-care, and self-expression. Our weekly 1-hour programming equips women with strategies and tools to strengthen their physical and mental well-being, encourages them to become actively engaged in their communities, and empowers them to become leaders. The women in the Sistergood programs gain confidence, healthier habits, empowering mindsets, and a supportive community in sisterhood. We provide vocational and leadership training and mentorship. We currently serve communities in Liberia, Ghana, Kenya, and the U.S. Our programs have reached over 100 participants so far.
What it reported doing in 2025
Our Foundational health/wellness program was conducted in both Kakuma Refugee Camp and Liberia. 12-Week Health and Wellness Foundational Program reaching 25 women in each location. Weekly 1-hour sessions were held virtually. Continuation of foundational program in Kakuma held for six additional 1-hr mentorship sessions.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
