Northrise University Initiative (NUI) is the US non-profit organization for Northrise University, a Christ-centered fully accredited regional university dedicated to equipping men and women to work in ministry and business to contribute to the spiritual and economic transformation of Zambia. Northrise University is strategically located in Ndola, Zambia. The University is dedicated to delivering the highest quality of education through a comprehensive approach to teaching, research and learning. Northrise University was founded by Dr Moffat and Mrs. Doreen Zimba in 2004, with the first class of 50 students. Today Northrise has app 600 students in 13 undergraduate degree programs and 1 graduate program. A landlocked nation of nearly 12 million people where a striking 86% of the population survives on less than $2 a day, Zambia lacks the access to educational opportunities and the infrastructure at the university level that are crucial to initiating long-term change. Northrise University’s goal is to educate Zambia’s future leaders to help an impoverished country evolve into a self-sufficient nation. At the cornerstone of a Northrise education rests the notion that graduates remain in their country to go on to influence the lives of other Zambians. Led by fellow Zambians, students at Northrise are taught to integrate their faith into the workplace. Professors encourage students to achieve academic excellence by providing learning opportunities that enhance critical thinking, discipline, personal responsibility, character development, and sacrifice.
