Meet Peter

Hope has given Peter strength through many tough times.

As a child, Peter escaped the Sudanese civil war, then was raised

by his father in a Kenyan refugee camp. “It was very hard” he says.

At 19, Peter came to live in Australia. He worked in factories and later studied at university. As a graduate, it was hard to find a job

opportunity until he joined the Brotherhood’s Given the Chance

program. He learned interview skills and was mentored by the

team who put him forward for jobs.

In 2017, Peter secured a role as a Service Consultant for Commercial

Cards at ANZ. His positive mindset and supportive people enabled

him to overcome the barriers he faced finding decent work.
