Aluk - Building a new life for her family

Aluk has come full circle. A single mom of 3 boys, she moved her family from the war in Sudan to Kenya. From Kenya, they ventured to Egypt and then to Canada.


Once here, Aluk faced cultural and language barriers that also affected her ability to obtain gainful employment. She worked in WINS Thrift Stores until an opportunity came up to attend school full time to learn English.


When Aluk completed her studies, she was re-entering the work force and found a tougher economy.


She learned that WINS was offering employment opportunities and was excited to apply.Starting as a store associate, and she worked her way up to store manager.


From her work with WINS, Aluk has furthered her command of the English language and is able to support her family on her own. “I am a happy and confident mother” she tells us.

"It is a great experience for me", she says. "WINS changes lives. They encourage women to make changes and get what they need." Aluk credits WINS with helping her to become a more independent and proud woman. She is also becoming a better

mother and a role model. She tells us that the WINS programs help to alleviate fear and stress which helps to keep families together and happy. 

 

“Everyone needs some help sometime, and that's just what WINS does.” Aluk tells us. She has come full circle and looks forward to a rewarding life in Canada.
