Single Mother with Seven Kids Flees Violence in South Sudan to Find New Home in Summerland

  • A single mother, Ajah Ayuen, and her seven children arrived in Summerland, Canada, on November 11 to start a new life after fleeing violence in South Sudan.
  • Their arrival came after a sponsorship agreement was finalized with the federal authorities in late 2019, although the process experienced setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic and multiple requests for confirmation from Immigration Canada.
  • The Ayuen family spent two weeks quarantining after multiple COVID-19 tests and will begin attending local schools and Okanagan College in January, supported by the Summerland Refugee Sponsorship Group .
  • SRSG Chair Doug Holmes said Immigration Canada asked three times if sponsorship should continue, and the group re-confirmed their commitment each time, while 100 Women Who Care donated $6,500 to support the family.
  • The family, who lived 18 years in Kenya’s Kakuma refugee camp, now hopes to build a safe life with education opportunities, while SRSG requires about $40,000 to cover financial support and start-up costs for one year.
