How SisterLove automates community outreach, peer education, clinical referral, and advocacy reporting
SisterLove is a community-based nonprofit working on HIV, sexual and reproductive health, and reproductive justice for women — particularly Black women and women of color — in the US South and internationally. Behind every workshop, screening, and policy brief sits a workflow stack that turns community trust into health outcomes the field can measure.
Community health work runs on relationships first and operations second. A peer educator who knows the neighbourhood reaches people that a clinic never will. To make that work durable, the outreach has to be organised, the education has to be evidence-based, the warm hand-off into clinical care has to actually land, and the outcomes have to be reported in ways that fund the next year. SisterLove automates that pipeline so the relationship work stays first and the operations carry it.
The four pain points SisterLove's automation has to solve
Community trust is earned in person and lost in process. A workshop participant who feels they are being run through a system disengages. Outreach has to feel like the neighbourhood, not like an intake form.
Peer education has to be both consistent and current. HIV prevention, sexual health, reproductive rights — guidance evolves. Without a shared curriculum and updates, peer educators end up giving different answers to the same question.
Warm hand-offs into clinical care often go cold. A referral to a clinic that does not follow up is a dropped patient. Without a closed loop, community outreach effort does not turn into screenings, prescriptions, or follow-up care.
Funders and policymakers want evidence, not stories alone. Stories matter. So do numbers. Funders, public health agencies, and policy partners need outcomes presented in language they recognise — without compromising participant privacy.
Four automation patterns that keep SisterLove moving
Relationship-first outreach
Outreach activities, workshops, and community presence are tracked lightly — only what is needed to coordinate, never in a way that makes participants feel processed. Trust stays in the room.
Shared, evolving peer curriculum
Peer educators work from a shared, evidence-based curriculum that updates as guidance changes. The answer to a common question stays consistent across educators and current to the science.
Closed-loop clinical referrals
Referrals to clinical partners are tracked through to screening, treatment, and follow-up. The hand-off is warm at the point of referral and closed at the point of care.
Funder-grade outcome reporting
Outcomes — reach, screenings, linkages to care, policy engagement — roll up into funder and policy reports with privacy preserved. Stories carry the meaning; numbers carry the case.
The four-stage pipeline
Every programme at SisterLove runs through the same four-stage shape — reach community members on their terms, educate with a shared evidence-based curriculum, refer into clinical care with a closed loop, report outcomes to funders and policymakers. The same pipeline serves a local workshop and an international advocacy campaign.
Case study: SisterLove
SisterLove
Challenge
Run community-based HIV, sexual health, and reproductive justice programmes with the trust of the communities served — across local outreach, peer education, clinical referrals, and advocacy — and report outcomes that secure the next round of funding without ever processing participants like inputs.
Solution
SisterLove built a programme pipeline where outreach stays relationship-first, peer education is shared and current, clinical referrals are closed-loop, and outcome reporting stands up with funders and policymakers. The community work leads; the operations follow.

How does SisterLove keep outreach relationship-first?
Outreach activities, workshops, and community presence are tracked only as much as the team needs to coordinate. Participants are never run through forms that would make them feel processed — the trust the work depends on stays in the room.
How does SisterLove keep peer educators consistent and current?
Peer educators work from a shared, evidence-based curriculum that updates as clinical and public-health guidance changes. The answer to a common question stays consistent across educators, and current to the science.
How does SisterLove make sure community referrals reach clinical care?
Referrals to clinical partners are tracked through to screening, treatment, and follow-up. The hand-off is warm at the moment of referral and closed at the moment of care, so outreach effort actually turns into health outcomes.
