THE HOPE OF ZAMBIA
Celebrating 20 years of miraculous growth
Northrise University Initiative (NUI) plays a vital role in supporting and communicating the vision and mission of Northrise University (NU) throughout the United States. NUI empowers lives by creating partnerships, fundraising, building community, and providing opportunities to support a Christ-centered university in Zambia.
Northrise University is addressing the challenges that hinder Zambia’s potential. In a landscape marked by limited opportunities and economic disparity, Northrise University is breaking barriers by offering affordable, quality Christian education that equips students to fulfill their unique God-given purpose. Northrise students and graduates are not merely entering the workforce—they’re becoming entrepreneurs, leaders, and innovators, driving Zambia towards becoming a beacon of hope and prosperity in Africa.
Northrise University Initiative plays a crucial role in this mission by creating opportunities for involvement through our fundraising efforts, prayer, capital campaigns, and partnerships. Together, we’re not just imagining a better future for Zambia – we’re making it a reality.

Investing in the Northrise University Scholarship Program gives deserving students hope and a brighter future. Qualified students maintain a good GPA, attend class and chapel, participate in work-study, serve the community, and follow university conduct codes. A $3,000 donation covers a year’s tuition and meals; $4,500 supports tuition, room, and meals. Your support transforms lives—give hope today and contribute to student success.


The Northrise University Student Center will support growth and community, offering a gym/event space for Chapel, activities, and campus events, along with a larger cafeteria to meet the needs of an expanding student body. A student lounge will provide a hub for commuter students to connect and study. The $7 million project is halfway funded, with $3.5 million needed to complete it by December 31, 2026.
