About us | MAD Sisters
Making A Difference (MAD) Sisters
Making A Difference (MAD) Sisters is a legally registered Community Based Organization in Kibera- Kenya; the second largest urban slum in Africa.
The birth of MAD Sisters was inspired by lived experiences of the founding team who grew up in Kibera witnessing realities of engendered effects of challenges in the informal settlement. This include but not limited to Sexual and Gender based violence, early marriage, school dropout. Having been rescued from by well- wishers, MAD Sisters reach out to girls and women in Kibera to give them a chance to change their stories too.
