Hands Lifting Hearts has helped 30 immigrant women and families settle but demand is growing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A grassroots non-profit that helps pregnant women arriving in Calgary, mostly from\u00a0African\u00a0countries, says demand is growing for Black-specific supports<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immigrants from Africa are a\u00a0growing demographic<\/a>\u00a0in the city and Clare Jagunna\u00a0and her non-profit, Hands Lifting Hearts,\u00a0is here to help<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run by Jagunna and a\u00a0small team of volunteers,\u00a0her organization is focused on helping pregnant mothers arriving in Calgary with no friends, family or experience\u00a0of life in Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2021 she’s been\u00a0helping\u00a0newcomers with every aspect of settling into a new city and navigating parenthood\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s something she says\u00a0needs to be tailored to the Black experience by people that understand them and their journey<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her organization provides pre-birth, labour and post birth support, help for women experiencing miscarriage and early disabilities among other things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We realized coming to a new country where you’re probably alone with very little information, we need to integrate them into the community to make sure we settle them well and make Canada a new home<\/q>\u00a0said Jagunna, who came to Canada from Nigeria<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She describes\u00a0the relationship she forges\u00a0with the newcomers she comes into contact with as a partnership<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She starts with\u00a0finding them\u00a0accommodation and covers\u00a0everything from building a network of Black friends, helping them\u00a0find\u00a0jobs and\u00a0connects\u00a0them with mental health support and\u00a0the medical help they’ll need while starting\u00a0a\u00a0family<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes\u00a0we help connect them\u00a0to doctors from their home countries, just to make them feel comfortable. When they see someone with the same colour and same language they are able to interact<\/q>\u00a0she said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u00a0are more open and it’s like transitioning from home to home, not from home to a no\u00a0man’s\u00a0land<\/q>\u00a0she said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jagunna also helps immigrants battle the loneliness and separation\u00a0from family, who would usually play a big part in a pregnancy and welcoming a new baby into the world<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back home with a new baby everybody is all over you, they want to help in every way and when the baby comes everyone is excited. It’s like that adage one woman bears the child but the whole community looks after the child<\/q>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She says new mums arriving from African countries need a support network to succeed and thrive\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We drive\u00a0them to medical\u00a0appointments, to shopping, make a baby plan, and being\u00a0there in the labour room<\/q>\u00a0said Jagunna, adding that\u00a0many\u00a0African men don’t accompany their wives during labour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her group of around ten volunteers gets womens’ homes ready for coming back from hospital, cleaning and preparing quality meals to make the first days and weeks easier, even providing volunteers to help with the baby to give mums some respite<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women that have received help through Jagunna’s organization says the difference it made to their lives\u00a0is difficult to put into words<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chinwe Achebe can’t hold back the tears when she talks about the support she found after arriving in Canada from Nigeria four years ago, pregnant and with no supports in place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was\u00a0super tough. I don’t know if it was my saddest moment\u00a0or my miracle moment<\/q>\u00a0said AchebeIt wasn’t funny, being a new mum, being in a new country, it was so hard I can’t explain it<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achebe says being connected with\u00a0other women\u00a0in the same situation,\u00a0and with\u00a0others who’ve gone through the same experiences themselves, was a huge\u00a0help<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me community is highly important. You can’t do without it, you’d be lost, confused, everything. We all need support coming to a new place where everything is overwhelming<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jagunna opened her home to Achebe, providing her and her family with a place to live in her first days and weeks here<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I think about it, it’s amazing. Every day when I see Clare I say she was God sent. She doesn’t know us from anywhere, she doesn’t know my family, my parents. Who does that<\/q>\u00a0she says, wiping her eyes behind her glasses<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She gave me a home, a parent, she was everything. We didn’t know left from right, we didn’t know what to do. She showed me another version of life and it changed my narrative on\u00a0life. You don’t need to know a person, just be good and be all you can be<\/q>\u00a0said Achebe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the support,\u00a0Achebe and her husband were also\u00a0connected to key\u00a0settlement agencies including:\u00a0Centre for Newcomers, Calgary Catholic\u00a0Immigration\u00a0Society and Calgary Immigrant Women’s Association<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She made me realize that support is everywhere<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four years later, Achebe\u00a0sits at the kitchen table in her southeast\u00a0home with her three-year-old son, Chukwudum, taking a short screen\u00a0break from her job while flipping through the pages of a math workbook<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She got here one step at a time,\u00a0crediting\u00a0Jagunna and her volunteers for her and her husband’s success to date in both her life and career\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achebe says Jagunna now needs support herself to help more\u00a0mothers and families like hers, with more and more new arrivals coming to Alberta from African countries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jagunna says she’s starting to\u00a0get\u00a0lots of referrals and her organization is getting busier as word spreads about the help she offers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People say ‘I have this couple coming, or have this\u00a0woman coming, can you support her?’, and I’ve supported Nigerians, Ghanaians, Kenyans and people from Senegal,\u00a0and other communities<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While she needs to cover the costs of gas, baby supplies and\u00a0food,\u00a0to her it’s about something much bigger<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having that avenue to give myself completely to humanity, that gives me a lot of satisfaction. Yes, I need money,\u00a0but when you serve the people the money comes after. It gives me satisfaction and joy to help women<\/q>\u00a0she said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jagunna takes donations and raises money via her Hands Lifting Hearts\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0and word of mouth\u00a0to fund her work but says the next step in 2023 is applying for grants and government funding to expand the unique service\u00a0she offers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s about building relationships that last a long time<\/q>\u00a0she said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We intend to build a community<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n
