Support Sudanese refugee student education. Badr, a Sudanese refugee student, survived war, hunger, and exile. After graduating with honors, he now needs support for visa and blocked account costs to study in Germany. Your help keeps his family’s sacrifices from being in vain.
Why This Campaign Matters
Badr Mustafa’s life has been defined by resilience. In 2017, he entered the University of Khartoum to study mechanical engineering, full of hope. However, Sudan’s crises kept interrupting his path—protests, a pandemic, a coup, and finally war.
By April 2023, airstrikes shook his home and the streets turned deadly. Food and water disappeared, so his family fled. His parents managed to reach Egypt, but Badr and his brother were trapped at the border for a month, sleeping on classroom floors with hundreds of others.
Despite these hardships, Badr refused to abandon his studies. Because his parents sacrificed their last savings, he continued in Cyprus. Meanwhile, he worked any job—delivery, cleaning—just to survive. Some months he sent money home, but other months he barely ate. In January 2024, he still graduated with honours.
Then came another tragedy. His family’s home in Khartoum was bombed and looted, while his father’s shop and all possessions vanished. Soon after, his mother fell, breaking her arm and leg. Since Egypt required a costly security fee, Badr had no safe route. Therefore, he risked the smugglers’ path across the desert, surviving five days without knowing if he would make it alive.
Now, Germany offers a lifeline: a Master’s degree, work, and stability for his family. However, he must first prove financial security through a blocked account and cover visa fees. Without this, his future—and his parents’ sacrifice—will collapse.
How Donations Support Sudanese Refugee Student Education
Every contribution to support Sudanese refugee student education helps Badr move forward:
- German blocked account (~€12,000 required)
- Visa fees and travel costs
- Basic rent and living expenses during transition
- Support for his parents, who lost everything in Khartoum
Thus, each donation builds more than a degree. It restores dignity for a family that risked everything to keep education alive.
Call to Action
Badr’s story shows what resilience looks like. A Sudanese student, forced to risk his life, now stands on the edge of a brighter future. Badr has survived airstrikes, hunger, and the desert. He has graduated against all odds. Now, with Germany’s deadline in January, his chance to study and support his family is slipping away.
With your support, he can study, work, and support his parents in dignity. Please donate, every dollar counts. You can also please share this campaign, so it reaches more people who can help.
This is one of many Sudan mutual aid campaigns amplified on this platform.
