Saad AL-Haddad was born in Baghdad, Iraq. He and his family decided to flee Iraq in 2016 as it became too dangerous to live. As the war started to worsen they received targeted threats and found it increasingly difficult to continue their usual lives in Baghdad. Saad and his family resettled in Jordan for two years whilst waiting on their Australian refugee status approval. We explore his life as a refugee, the hardship he and his family faced and his plans for the future. 

Growing up, Saad received most of his education from Amala Education (formally known as Sky School) in Amman, Jordan. Now as a permanent resident, Saad has begun the pursuit for a Bachelor of Business in Information Systems at RMIT university whilst participating in a number of community and academic events; including Amala Educations hackathon in Singapore in 2019, where he provided invaluable contributions to a course on Ethical Leadership.
