About Us

My Sister’s Haven, Corporation is a new nonprofit social service agency serving the greater Philadelphia area. We need your help with funding to purchase a property to rehab into a shelter for women going through domestic violence. Below is one of the possible shelters for the nonprofit organization. 

Please consider a donation as we have a few sisters waiting for us to give them a safe haven and help them transition into independency.

Our organization advocates for women’s rights in the Greater Philadelphia and surrounding areas.

In our first initiative, My Sister’s Haven will provide shelter and services for women experiencing domestic violence and homelessness. Our second phase will include offering services for drug rehabilitation and transition services
for incarcerated women.

Services
My Sister’s Haven will provide transitional housing and life skill training for women. It offers assistance to women, frequently homeless, as they move from dependent, often abusive relationships into independent, self-sufficient
lifestyles. Additionally, it assists clients in child reunification. This is particularly important as 85% of the clients have children. In the city’s women-only facility and with long-term transitional housing, most shelters only offer 30 days or less of housing, whereas My Sister’s Haven offers up to one year. 

Our staff will include domestic abuse counselors and we have future plans to add a family reunification counselor to assist clients.

The facility provides clients with a seven-step program that teaches them necessary life skills. This collaborative approach to empowerment is the keystone to developing self-sufficiency in the clients. The steps include personal development, vocational training, interpersonal skills building, personal and spiritual development, community involvement, creative leisure activities, and independent living preparation/follow up.

Violence Against Women in Philadelphia: Shootings
More women were shot in Philadelphia in 2019 than in any other year since 2011. Since then, about one out of every 12 shootings involved a female victim.

Homicides
Forty-nine women were killed in Philadelphia in 2019, the highest total since at least 2007. We have to do something to protect women in the city and surrounding areas.
