About SISTER EFFECT INC

SISTER EFFECT INC (doing business as OneTribe) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded to support peacebuilding, trauma healing, and livelihood programming in war-affected communities, primarily in South Sudan, Sudan and neighboring countries. The organization develops and distributes Christ-centered radio drama, community peace workshops, pastoral training, and women’s livelihood programs to help communities move from cycles of violence to sustainable, locally-led peace. In recent years (2022–2024) the organization expanded program deployment into Sudan’s Nuba Mountains and refugee-hosting areas in northern Uganda, launched new agricultural and leadership initiatives (Regenerate; Prevent Stop Restore) to address food insecurity and local conflict prevention, and reported growing financial support that funded broader regional operations.
