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.
