Hello , It is a risky proposition..., they will make all sought of promise, my advise leave your family back home, then come in and see if all that glitter is GOLD ??

It is advice, fee of cost, take it or leave it and if it is an Indian managed/ owned then it calls in for to be double cautious.

Rest is up 2 u, depends how much you love your life.

i also recommend you to first come alone to verify what you have been promised and the working conditions.

With a salary of $4,000, you can get by very well
Uganda is safe and hospitable,don't lose the offer
but tread carefully before moving your family here

All the best

I think you are asking for a lot of money by Kampala standards.
Other people's suggestions are right, you should first come here and have a look yourself and talk to people who are in a similar situation as yourself.
You can have a very good lifestyle here. There are plenty of private healthcare providers, international schools with children etc.
