Recipient story
Male asylum seeker requiring a laptop to support education and employment search.
GIVIT
My client is an asylum seeker in Australia from a refugee background. He holds work and study rights and is currently attending English language classes while actively seeking employment as he awaits the outcome of his Protection Visa application.
Although he has a strong educational background, he faces significant barriers in transferring his overseas qualifications and securing work. He currently manages job applications, study requirements, and essential communication using only a mobile phone, which greatly limits his ability to apply for jobs, prepare documents, and participate effectively in education.
Having fled his home country due to fear of persecution, he arrived in Australia with no possessions or family support and is experiencing severe financial hardship, often borrowing money for basic necessities.
Access to a laptop would be essential in supporting his education, employment search, and ability to rebuild stability and independence in Australia.
