Itai is a community spokesperson from Zimbabwe. He volunteers with the Voices Network in Glasgow, shared his experience of destitution with BBC Scotland in February 2019, and supported Refugee Festival Scotland 2019 as an Ambassador. He campaigns for people in the asylum system to have the right to work and to end destitution.

“I came to Glasgow eight years ago, and lived many years in destitution. But now I have a different outlook in life because I am involved with many organisations who help refugees and asylum seekers here in Scotland.”
