Knowing first hand the difficulties of settling in a new country, Ibrahim is passionate about helping other people in the community and has been dedicating his time to help welcome new migrants in Australia and guide them through as they establish themselves and get used to their new life in Australia.

Through his work,  Ibrahim has become aware of the growing and worrisome level of violence that is affecting many families within African communities, especially young people. His passion to make a difference in the community and his determination to help the youth  has led him to take action, raise awareness in the community about the need to combat violence and anti-social behaviours.
