About Our Organization

South Sudanese Foundation of Fargo-Moorhead

Building a new vibrant community

The mission of SSF is to be a life-changing, transformative community where everyone encounters reminders of love for our community and move forward together in our new home of Fargo-Moorhead. Seen as the heart of this immigrant community, SSF is not just a place to find assistance, but is a home for people who have been displaced and find themselves living on the margins.

The Fargo-Moorhead area is home to New Americans who arrived in this community through direct refugee resettlement and secondary immigration. Almost all New Americans living in Fargo, North Dakota, and Moorhead, Minnesota struggle to find work, secure housing, access services/transportation, understand and overcome cultural differences, learn and understand English, and raise children in a culturally unfamiliar context and ensure their educational success. In response to these complex and intersectional needs, the South Sudanese Foundation (SSF) was founded in 2015 by community members who are South Sudanese refugees themselves.
