Founder's Story
Big Sisters Worldwide Inc, founded in 2009 by Keshalu Simpson, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to addressing health disparities and expanding access to essential resources in underserved communities. The organization was inspired by the legacy of Keshalu’s late maternal grandmother, Edna Gardner, whose resilience and generosity transformed her family’s future. Despite limited means, she supported her children and grandchildren in migrating to the United States, creating opportunities for a better life while consistently helping others in need.
Her example instilled a deep commitment to service and community empowerment. In her honor, Big Sisters Worldwide Inc works to bridge gaps in care by providing health education, preventative screenings, and connections to vital services through initiatives such as community health fairs and outreach programs. These efforts are rooted in the belief that access to care and early intervention are essential to building healthier communities.
