Sisters Incorporated hasn't added a story.

South Africa has one of the highest incidences of domestic violence in the world. And, sadly, domestic violence is the most common and widespread human rights abuse in South Africa. Every day, women are murdered, physically and sexually assaulted, threatened and humiliated by their partners, within their own homes.

Domestic violence, abuse, and stigmatization are so prevalent and widespread in our communities. Sisters Incorporated plays a critical role in protecting, supporting and empowering women who are survivors of these situations. With a history spanning over 60 years in Cape Town, Sisters Incorporated has evolved from being a refuge for single mothers into a safe haven caring for women and their children from all walks of life. Sisters Incorporated aims to help every woman, teenager, and child in crisis heal physically, emotionally and spiritually.

We provide care – free of judgment, criticism, and bias – and aspire to empower those who pass through our doors, to become better equipped for their role in society. Offering a hand-up instead of a hand-out.

Your generosity can save lives

Our residents are women and their children (girls and boys from one-year-old and boys up to the age of ten) dealing with domestic violence and abuse.

With the quarantine period on, we've received more women and children than we've ever received. We cannot turn anyone down regardless. Therefore, we need more donations to accommodate our new sisters and their children. Additionally, as we are in a 21-day lockdown in South Africa we are still receiving more women and children that need our help.

Some of the things we desperately need in case the situation worsens and there is scarcity:

Beds and mattresses

Appliances

Art and craft supplies

Clothing and shoes

Crockery, cutlery, dining utensils

Food

Stationery

Toiletries

Toys

Sanitizing and disinfectant products

Antibacterial soaps

Gloves

Masks

Medicines

Funds raised will be used to meet our minimum monthly operating budget of $5,000. the total goal amount is to fund the 2020 year. we will pursue new grant options during this time.
