A man, woman and her baby are being resettled in Bury after fleeing persecution and torture in war-torn Southern Sudan.
They were among a party of 33 people who arrived in Bolton on Monday from refugee camps in Uganda.
Southern Sudan has suffered from 21 years of civil war, during which an estimated 1.5 million people have been killed.
Large areas of the country have been ethnically cleansed, and those that have fled have been living in mud huts in Uganda.
