We believe every woman deserves dignity and a chance to thrive. The Sisterhood Projects bridges the gap by providing essential baby supplies like diapers and period products, alongside the supportive network of a caring community. Together, we ensure all families have the resources they need to flourish.

Dr. Beverly Harris-Coleman
Executive Director
The Sisterhood Projects, Inc. Foundation was established by Dr. Beverly Harris-Coleman in July of 2017. At the age of 16, Dr. Harris-Coleman began her journey into motherhood. During this time Dr. Harris-Coleman was able to reside at Florence Crittenton Maternity Home in Atlanta, Ga. She was able to continue her education, learning parenting and life skills.
After raising three children and continuing her education, Dr. Harris-Coleman decided that she wants to give back to the community by starting her own maternity home. She wants to give back to teens who found themselves pregnant and need support on their journey. Dr. Harris-Coleman wants to remove barriers that will hinder a teen from becoming a positive member of society.
The Sisterhood Maternity Home is offering continuing education, job readiness, parenting skills, and mentoring, just to name a few.
