Who we are & what we do

Hello! We are Sisters With Souls

Non Profit Organization
Sisters With Souls Inc. (SWS) is a dedicated nonprofit organization committed to uplifting families and individuals in need throughout the Metro Atlanta area. Founded from a place of personal experience and empathy, SWS was birthed by someone who faced the challenges of poverty firsthand as a young child raised by a single parent with little to no income. This background instilled a deep understanding of the struggles faced by many families and a passion for creating positive change in the community.

 Our mission is to provide vital services and resources, focusing on family intervention and mentoring at-risk youth. We collaborate with local organizations, churches, and community members to foster a supportive network for those we serve.

At the heart of our work is a commitment to empowering the next generation. Through our flagship programs like “Step Up for Success: Empowering Youth Through Footwear” and “Kids Run to Thrive: Fighting Childhood Obesity,” we provide not only tangible resources but also life-changing experiences that inspire confidence, health, and resilience in children.

Sisters With Souls Inc. strives to build a stronger, more inclusive community where every individual has the opportunity to thrive one souls at a time.

Testimonials

Abby's Story

In 2011, Sisters With Souls was founded with a mission to bring positive change to low income families and provide mentorship opportunities for individuals experiencing homelessness in our city. Over the past 12 years, our organization has made a profound impact on the lives of countless individuals, including the story of Abby.

Abby, a single mother of two, found herself struggling to make ends meet after losing her job and facing eviction. Feeling hopeless and alone, she turned to Sisters With Souls for support. Not only did she receive hot meals and groceries to sustain her family, but she also connected with mentors who provided guidance, encouragement, and resources to help her navigate her challenges.

With the support of her mentors, Abby was able to secure stable housing, enroll in job training programs, and eventually land a full-time job. But the impact didn’t stop there. Inspired by the kindness and support she received, Abby became a mentor herself, paying it forward to others facing similar hardships.

Today, Abby is thriving. She has a stable job, a home for her family, and a newfound sense of purpose. Her journey is a testament to the transformative power of community support and mentorship, and it’s just one of many success stories that Sisters With Souls has helped to create.

My name is China Wells, also known as Chy-Chy. I founded Sisters With Souls Inc. with a deep personal connection to the struggles of low-income families. Growing up in a close-knit community, I experienced firsthand the challenges of living in a household with a single parent. My mother, a resilient and hardworking woman, often struggled to provide for us. I vividly remember the worry about how we would keep food on the table, or how we’d manage to keep the water running to wash clothes and take baths. Even the most basic essentials were sometimes out of reach.

Our situation became even more difficult when my 12-year-old brother was tragically shot and killed. My mother, devastated by the loss, suffered some mental health issues as she grieved. During this time, it became even harder for her to care for us, and the lack of family support made the situation worse. Watching my mother go through this painful experience deeply impacted my understanding of the importance of having strong support systems for families in crisis. At that moment, my siblings and I realized that we were all we had, and we had to take care of each other.

As I grew older, these experiences left a lasting mark on me. I felt a deep sense of empathy and a strong desire to give back to families facing similar hardships. While volunteering in community organizations and homeless shelters, I witnessed countless families, particularly single mothers like my own, struggling to access the basic necessities of life.

It was during these experiences that the vision for Sisters With Souls Inc. came to life. I founded this organization to create a supportive, compassionate space where individuals and families in need could find help and hope. Our mission is to provide critical services and resources to low and moderate-income families, ensuring that no one feels alone in their struggles.

Through programs like Step Up for Success, Finish Strong Initiative, and our planned drop-in center, we aim to uplift families and help them overcome the challenges they face. Sisters With Souls Inc. is here to provide the support that families like mine desperately needed.
