Meet Rida, RISE Community Ambassador and member of the Sudanese Action Group in Brussels. Rida shares why solidarity within the Sudanese community matters now more than ever. As conflict continues to affect people back home, many Sudanese refugees arrive in Belgium seeking safety, belonging, and a chance to rebuild. Rida speaks about the power of community-led support and how each of us can play a role in helping newcomers find their place. Watch his message and discover how you can be part of this collective effort.

Rida is one of our 10 Diaspora Community Ambassadors that play a vital role in strengthening Community Sponsorship across Belgium. Through shared language, lived experience, and deep community connections, they mobilize sponsors, create trainings, organize local events, and help identify safe housing options for refugees.
