Why are we going to Zambia?

Zambia is one of the poorest nations in the world.  Educational opportunities beyond high school are limited.  Good health services are beyond the reach of many who need them most.  This is compounded by the ravages of HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases.

Northrise University was founded with the goal of providing high quality education to those who would then make a difference in Zambia.  One of NU's core values is to live out a biblical world view -- which includes community action.

It is out of this that Ndola Vision 2008 was developed.  We are going to work in the community -- alongside NU students and staff.  The goal is to impact Ndola positively.  We've got teams working with children, hospitals, women, the farm, and pastors.  (ndolavision.com)
