The Family Protection Network

When someone you love needs you, but you can't physically be there… who goes?

Sisonke360 connects families with carefully vetted people, appropriate professionals and trusted services — helping make sure someone can be there when you cannot.

Trust isn't just a feature. It's the foundation of our network.

For SisonkeStars

Be the person who shows up.

Join the people Sisonke360 is gathering. An application is interest only. It does not verify you, train you, or put you in front of a family.

  • Meaningful work
  • Training, when it opens
  • Safety and support
  • Clear engagement

Support we are designing

These are the kinds of presence a family could ask for later. None of them can be booked today.

Elder check-ins

Wellbeing visits and a family update.

Appointment companion

Support to and from appointments.

Hospital companionship

A trusted person beside them.

Practical support

Errands, collections and everyday help.

Companionship

A friendly, trusted presence.

“Knowing Mum is in safe hands, even from thousands of kilometres away.”

The feeling Sisonke360 is being built for. Not a customer review. Not a completed visit.

The Sisonke360 Trust Standard™

Every SisonkeStar is vetted, trained and monitored. Trust isn't a feature – it's our product.

The problem

Distance changes where we live. It shouldn't change how we care.

  • Who checks on Mum when you're thousands of miles away?
  • Who helps Dad when you're stuck at work?
  • Who sits with someone you love when you simply can't?
  • Who helps when the person who normally provides support needs a break?
  • Who actually goes when a phone call isn't enough?

We can send money instantly.

We can video call from anywhere.

We can order groceries and transport from our phones.

But when someone we love actually needs a trusted person to physically be there, many families are still relying on whoever happens to be available.

That's the gap Sisonke360 is being built to fill.

Families already use carers, relatives, neighbours, security services, healthcare providers, transport and technology. Sisonke360 is being built to help connect that fragmented support around the family — not to pretend none of it exists.

Meet Sisonke360

Sisonke means “we are together.”

Sisonke360 is being developed around one simple belief: distance shouldn't leave families helpless. Whether you're across town, working a 12-hour shift, travelling, or living thousands of kilometres away, Sisonke360 aims to help connect your family to an appropriate trusted response.

The people who love them

Sisonke360

Understand. Match. Respond.

  • Trusted family contacts
  • Companions
  • Professionals
  • Trusted partners

Intended network. Not a live dispatch service.

Be there

A preview of the idea. Not a live request.

One request. The appropriate response.

Mum hasn't answered her phone.

Sisonke360 is not a replacement for the police, an ambulance, or any other emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

The people

Technology can connect a family. People are still the ones who show up.

SisonkeStars are the trusted people behind Sisonke360. A companion, a professional, a kids responder and a coordinator are different approvals. The name does not make them the same.

SisonkeStars. The people who show up.

Trust & safety

Trust shouldn't be assumed. It should be earned and verified.

Sisonke360 is being designed around a Trust Passport and a record of what actually happened — Proof of Presence. Neither system is live. The standard we are building toward is simple.

Every person verified. Every visit accounted for.

That line is the standard, not a claim about a service you can use today.

Who would you be there for?

Mum. Dad. Grandma. My child. My partner. My family.

Sometimes you simply cannot physically be there. That's why we're building Sisonke360.

Together. Wherever you are.
