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 pass through the challenges he had when he arrived in the USA.
