It took 7 years for Mohamed to be recognised as a refugee – this is his story.

“I used to finish work every day and go home to cry. Now I am here, smiling, happy, because of them. God sends you to good people when you are in trouble and God sent me to ASRC.”

The ASRC gave me my life back. And not only mine, but thousands behind me and in front of me. I would do anything for ASRC.  I am now safe and happy because of them.

In Mohamed’s words, “the ASRC provided me with all types of support, for my mental health, legal representation, food, a job at ASRC Cleaning. But they also gave me so much more than these things. They believed in me, gave me courage to live and they understood what I was going through.”

“Now I have permanent protection in Australia and I am running my own business. Because I am safe, I can now support my family, including my son who I haven’t seen since he was a baby.  Because I survived, I want to help another generation to survive.”

Stories like Mohamed’s are unfortunately not rare. We fight for hundreds for people each year to receive the protection they deserve, so that they can rebuild a life in peace.
