In 2007, after years of dreaming, Ayehu, her husband, and their two children finally immigrated to Israel. However, they struggled to adjust to their new environment upon arriving at the reception center.
Three years later, Ayehu was given the opportunity to enroll in a goldsmith training class at Megemeria. She was one of the first students and upon graduation, was gifted a Star of David necklace that filled her with joy and excitement.
Ayehu went on to become one of the main designers at Megemeria and created the Emunah necklace. She named it Emunah, which means “believe” in Hebrew, as it symbolized the realization of her dream and the victory of immigrating to Israel.
