Non Profit Organization
Working together across nations to battle women's and children's cancer in Ethiopia.
About UsWe are a community of Ethiopian women who are working to make a change; after years of seeing parents drive for hours to Addis Ababa just to make an appointment for their children, having to sleep outside their hospitals becuase they can not afford a place to stay and seeing the struggling quality of patience housing itself, we've found each other later in our lives with an initiative to improve all facets of these patients' lives—through means of transportation, housing, etc.
Our Activities
Our Activities
Sisterhood has participated in and organized a number of fundraising events, such as our annual "Better Together" Sisterhood WCCS Fundraising Night and the annual Susan G. Komen 5-mile walk. In addition, we support our local community by raising funds door-to-door during the Ethiopian New Year’s traditional celebration, Abebayosh.
Our Story
How We Came About
Sisterhood was founded in 2020 with an initial focus on volunteering alongside the Tesfa Addis Parents Children Cancer Organization (located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) and local churches. Through these partnerships, the organization aimed to inspire greater community participation in various fundraising initiatives.
Its primary objective was to support critical causes, particularly by providing funding for transportation and medical equipment essential to improving the quality of life for children and families affected by cancer.
Community. Compassion. Hope.

The ripple effect of every donation
With every act of support, we’ve been able to bring comfort and hope to children and families affected by cancer. Through our first fundraising event, we gifted a van to Tesfaaddis Parents and Children Cancer Support in Addis Ababa, making it easier for families to reach the care they need. Each contribution—big or small—has helped us take meaningful steps forward in easing the journey for those who need it most.Our vision for this year is to raise enough funds to support a transformative project in the city of Jimma, Ethiopia. Our goal is to help build a new facility that will give patients in need better resources and care. This project aims to create a place that will be a source of healing and hope for innumerable people and families, not just a building. Together, we can make this facility a reality!
