Through countless hours of committed volunteerism, Aline Nzeyimana has taken flight to realize her mission of supporting newcomers to the province and those in need.

As the founder of Wings of Hope for Africa, Aline has dedicated herself to identifying those in need and finding ways to help. Having experienced the challenges of being a new refugee to Canada, Aline has worked tirelessly to build the charitable organization from the ground up, looking for opportunities to partner with other community-based organizations and agencies to bring services to those most in need.

Recognizing the unique needs of her clients, Aline has used her experience and knowledge to create a food bank that offers culturally appropriate foods to those of African descent. Along with grocery baskets, Aline provides gift cards to augment the program.

From providing students with access to the tools needed to further their education to assisting job seekers in their efforts to find employment, Aline and Wings of Hope are there to help.
For being the wind beneath the wings of those needing a hand up, Aline Nzeyimana is deserving of Northern Lights Recognition Program honours!
