Reham’s story
“I was born and raised in Sudan. In 2019, there was a revolution in Sudan and there was no security, everything was going downhill.
We already had family in Australia, they told us that we should come to Australia. It was safer, there were more opportunities and so we applied with Spectrum for a Humanitarian Visa. Then COVID hit and Australia was in lockdown so that delayed our application. After waiting three years, we finally got the visa in December 2022. One week later, we arrived in Australia. We made the right decision because three months later there was a massive war in Khartoum, Sudan.
I feel so blessed that I had this amazing opportunity [to come to Australia] that others only wished they could have.”
