Professor Omar Enow

Omar Enow worked as a board member at Midaynta, a Somali-Canadian organisation that helped new immigrants settle and reunify with their family members. His enormous contributions and sacrifice at Midaynta made it possible to resettle thousands of Somali immigrants in this country (Canada).

In the harshest Canadian winters you would see Omar with his young daughters going from one community meeting to another to help people. That was the type of person he was. He was a man on a mission, a mission that would have a positive impact on thousands of families and a mission that makes him one of the most influential people in Somalia.

He was a caring person with big heart and spared no energy to fight for the rights and dignity of a fellow human being. He believed education was the way to end injustice and inequality.
