Mulumba and her family head to USA with renewed hope, big dreams
The family of Mr Mbaha Munganga and his wife Benwamanzi Mulumba have endured a roller-coaster three years.
Three years in which Mr Munganga has risen from a little-known Congolese barber to an album-recording musician.
Three years in which the Mungangas have gone from being mere statistics emblematic of Uganda’s generous refugee policy, to having a father who extends charity to Mulago hospital.
Three years in which Mrs Munganga has gone from being a supportive spouse to a patient on her likely deathbed, dependent on the help of doctors in Mulago hospital.
Yet Three years, at the end of which Mrs Munganga, her husband and seven children have – with renewed hope – left for the United States. Their resettlement by IOM Uganda this week came thanks to the United States Embassy in Kampala and Resettlement Support Centre in Nairobi.
Look out for the full story of what Mr Munganga called a Miracle, the Mulumba Miracle – here and on the IOM Uganda's Facebook page
