Social Impact
Global Sisters is driven to deliver innovative, impactful and sustainable support to women who want to become financially independent through business.
Our Social Impact program set out to track and measure change in the businesses and lives of our Sisters, specifically across six Impact Domains. Impact in these areas have a ripple effect that positively improves macro issues facing our society.
Global Sisters tracks each Sister’s journey over a course of 3+ years, checking-in with her at multiple points in our Roadmap. Measuring impact is critical to achieving our mission to support women to become financially independent and stand tall through business. We will use this data to drive change and improvements in our model and programs.
