Our History
Mwangaza Wa Upendo (Light of Love) was formed by Alenga Alokola, a young Congolese refugee in Arizona, USA.
Alenga Alokola is passionate about helping his community to integrate and communicate easily with the American community so that they can build better lives. After living in the USA for 3 years, Alenga faced a lot of challenges. He doesn’t want other people to go through the challenges he had when he arrived in the USA.
