Amina, a 14-year-old student who arrived in Canada with her family in early 2025, struggled to adjust to a new school system and language barriers. Through Nuru’s academic tutoring and mentorship program, she received weekly support in math and English. At the same time, her mother participated in parent workshops that helped her better understand the school system and how to support Amina at home. Within months, Amina’s confidence grew significantly. She began participating in class discussions, improved her grades, and joined a school club for the first time. Her family also accessed settlement and housing support through Nuru, helping them feel more stable and connected.
Impact Achieved: Amina now says she feels more confident and hopeful about the future, reflecting the meaningful , holistic impact of Nuru’s programs on both youth and families
