Sudanese Refugee Completes Degree After Years of Persecution

Titus Hassan Malika, a Sudanese Christian who fled his homeland due to rising violence and religious persecution, celebrated his graduation with a Bachelor’s degree in business administration and management on November 6. After escaping to Kenya as a refugee, Malika faced years of uncertainty and trauma. He credits his academic success to the support he received from International Christian Concern (ICC), which provided him with practical assistance and encouragement starting in 2023.

Reflecting on his journey, Malika describes his faith as the central force that sustained him through his displacement. He says that God served as his shelter when he was homeless and provided him with courage during times of fear. Citing Philippians 4:19, he expresses gratitude for the provision he received, describing the organization’s support as the hands and feet of Christ. Malika views his graduation as a testament to God’s ability to bring beauty from ashes and hopes his story encourages others to stand with those suffering for their faith.
