Sister Acts
Insights
Why
Jesus has a very tender place in His heart for marginalized women and girls. Being a woman or girl in many parts of the third world is overwhelming and almost unbearable: the grind of daily life, prejudice and discrimination, lack of education, illiteracy, horrible living conditions, slave labor jobs with low pay, sexual abuse, early marriages, and poor or non-existent health care.
What
Sister Acts transforms the lives of vulnerable women and girls by focusing on practical solutions that impact their daily lives. We have identified 25 simple, life changing solutions in 5 basic categories that impact a woman or girl’s life every single day.
How
We partner with the local church, Christian organizations and leaders to be the extension of the love of JESUS in practical ways, serving the most marginalized women and girls in their communities.
Impact
Because of the partnership and support of so many with Global Seed Planters, we were able to accomplish so much in 2021!
- 1,000 vulnerable girls received a washable, reusable sanitary supply kit to remove their shame and empower them to continue their education.
- 16 Village Wells have been drilled in desperate villages, inspected, and repaired to continue to provide the life transforming gift of clean water.
- 20 Village leaders attended a 6-week course on gardening and farming to develop Demonstration Gardens to bring Community Transformation through food security and income.
- 50 Widows and their orphaned children received large Mercy Bags of food plus a Christmas gift of additional food and a large bag of charcoal for cooking.
- 39,949 Gulu Referral Hospital caregivers had access to a simple kitchen we built for them along with two manual wells, and two large water storage tanks that were drilled and installed at the hospital for backup for water.
