History

Sisters Incorporated is a private welfare organization, founded in 1959. It was originally established as a refuge for single, pregnant women at a time when tremendous stigma was attached to being unmarried and pregnant.

Following the legalization of abortion, the number of unmarried mothers in need of care decreased considerably, but at the same time the extent of domestic violence within S.A. became increasingly apparent.

Responding to the changing needs within society we amended our constitution, built an annex on the grounds of the home and are now able to offer care to growing numbers of abused women and their children of all races and religions.
