All money goes to the The SISTER2sister program, a year-long mentoring and resilience program which matches marginalised girls with professional women from the community. This early intervention program is designed to break the cycle of deeply entrenched inter generational social issues, with the long term goal of building a better future for the next generation. Together with their mentors, girls attend an intensive risk management course to build resilience and empower positive change.
