Sisters Keepers

Sisters Keepers is a global initiative that engages and challenges girls of exceptional promise to reach their fullest potential— intellectually, emotionally, and socially. We achieve this by providing grants and capacity enhancements to organizations that offer programs focused on mentoring, educational scholarships, mental health services, and sports programs.

Our Why

We exist to help black girls between the ages of 12-18 years, become leaders who take charge of their own lives and act as agents of positive change. Sisters Keepers programs are designed to inspire, support, engage, equip and unleash the potential of black girls to drive change in their communities, business and politics.

Targeting girls at a younger age provides the best opportunity for laying a strong foundation for change for generations to come. The potential of adolescents as change agents offers multiple dividends to society if investment is made in their education, mentoring and support. 

Adolescent girls constitute one of the most powerful demographics today- in numbers and collective potential. The choices this generation of young women make will shape their lives and a whole new generation of boys and girls. Investing in an educated, healthy, skilled, and empowered girl today, means she will have the tools to reinvest back into her life, her family, her community, and our world. 

The well-being of adolescent girls is the key to eliminating poverty, achieving social justice, stabilizing the population, and preventing foreseeable humanitarian crises.
