The Sisters 4 Peace Network is an innovative online application that provides girls with the space and the resources to learn about global issues, spread awareness about their causes, exchange fruitful ideas with other change agents about project tools, and develop their own sustainable campaigns to alleviate social problems. The social-change portal offers one-on-one mentorship, “Transform Your World Toolkits”, and a support network to aspiring girl change-makers around the globe who are working independently on launching their own projects. Sisters 4 Peace is guided by a network of Peace Ambassadors - successful girl entrepreneurs - who have led their own social change projects, and who provide mentoring, fundraising assistance, and expertise to budding peacemakers located in their region. The website is produced by ‘Girls Helping Girls’ (GHG) an international non-profit organization that empowers young females to transform their world by mobilizing them through a series of initiatives to take action around four Global Goals, which reflect and categorize the MDGs.
