I'm a smart chatbot that gives you a private online space to ask anything (#nojudgement) about your body, life, relationships and other sensitive issues that you may not feel comfy talking to anyone else about. I've been created by girls for girls, and have been chatting since 2018. And because I'm a chatbot 🤖 not a real person - I can't gossip or judge anything you say. So when you're ready, let's chat!

Nope, the chatbot’s not a real person, it’s a smart robot built by a team of real people and co-designed with young folks right here in South Africa! We work with awesome local orgs to connect you to things you might need, and if you’re looking for extra support, you can chat to a real human, a trained healthcare worker, during our open hours - Monday to Friday, 7:00–19:00, and Saturdays, 8:30–12:30. They’ve got your back and can help you figure out your next step.
Big Sis was made by Girl Effect, a global Charity with a team based in South Africa.
Girl Effect’s mission is to uplift and empower girls, so you can win in life and love!
Basically, girls and boys told Girl Effect they wanted a more private, judgment-free space to get info on personal, lovey-dovey stuff and well being, so… they made me! 💖
