About Us

Established in 2014 in the heart of Mataffin, Mbombela, our organisation is rooted in community and built on a deep commitment to nurturing young girls into strong, self-assured women who rise — and bring others with them. We work with girls aged 11–23, helping them navigate adolescence and grow into leaders.

#Big Sister

Our Core Philosophy

Sesi Lomkhulu is more than a charity — it’s a movement. Our name, meaning "Big Sister," reflects our core philosophy: that every girl should have a guiding hand, a caring mentor, and a role model who helps her navigate life’s challenges. Our programmes are designed to foster leadership, independence, and self-worth, especially among girls from vulnerable or low-income communities.
