Our Story: From Mentorship to Movement
2018 – founded as a mentorship program, pairing older women with girls who needed guidance, support, and sisterhood.
2022 – became a registered NGO, working to create safe, inclusive, and transformative spaces for our community.
Today- a bold movement for liberation, driven by feminist values that prioritize healing, knowledge-sharing, and inclusion.
The Sistah Sistah Foundation (SSF) is a feminist, women-led organisation based in Zambia that advances the rights and well-being of women, girls, and young people. We believe in the kind of feminism that listens, learns, and leads from the community, one that understands that every issue is connected, and that liberation has to touch every part of our lives.
At SSF, we don’t limit ourselves to one “core issue.” Feminist issues are intersectional: SGBV affects SRHR, economic injustice affects safety and opportunity, and climate change worsens gender inequality. Everything connects. That’s why we start by listening to what our community is experiencing and then build solutions that meet those needs.
Fun fact: The name Sistah Sistah actually started as a placeholder because nothing else felt quite right. Calling it Sistah Sistah was a joke at first, a lighthearted nod to the book Sister Sister by Eric Jerome Dickey, but it stuck. It felt real, familiar, and full of the warmth we wanted to build. And honestly, when we finally decide on a “final” name, we promise you’ll be the first to know.
