SOCIAL OFFICE
The clients of My Sisters are often the sole provider of her household. This means not only that she provides an income, but also that she is the one everyone looks to for guidance in all aspects. This role can be quite demanding, especially for women who did not themselves have much guidance, training or support growing up. Many questions need an answer, and a massive responsibility lies on these women.
In the My Sisters social office two social workers are ready to listen, give advice and not least reassure clients that we are here to help.
The social office is a place to go, when women need a talk, an advice regarding big and small, or when they have more tangible needs: money for school, uniforms, books.

Sponsorship
For the neediest families My Sisters have organized special help. This is aid directly from a sponsor in Scandinavia to one child. Just over 350 children are helped through this. The aid covers school fee, uniform, books and other living expenses.
The sponsor receives yearly news about the children, through the social office.

Foster homes
Being alone with children always implies the worry of not being able to manage, or worse, the question: “What if I die, who will then care for my little ones?”
This also brings some of our clients to the social office. From time to time they may come for the only reason to ask this question. The answer from My Sisters is always: “We shall”.
And we will!
Around 50 of our sponsorship children are children of former clients who passed away. For these children we will find the best home possible. It may be with the grandmother or another relative. Some times with a good friend of the mother. We take on the responsibility to pay various expenses, and most times we find willing and loving people for the children to live with.

Extended foster care: Bereket
Very rarely we do not find the right home for a child, or a home turns out not to be what we expected. To help these children, My Sisters have a home called Bereket. Berekets means blessing, and the home is so named, because we were blessed to receive the place as a gift, but also because the home is a true blessing to these children.
Bereket is a family setting, with a mature couple living there with eight children.
