A Word from the President – Dr. Henri Buregea

“…the Word of God is at the center of all its – LIU’S – teachings in order to develop disciples of Jesus that are the kind of leaders that can transform Africa.”

LIU exists to transform Africa through quality Christ – centered higher education. That is the mission of this young Christian University. It is called to produce ethical, empowered, and employable Christian leaders for every sector of society.

The society we live in today is characterized by many vices: corruption, immorality, division between the have and the have not, the literate and the illiterate, believers and non-believers, as well as employed and unemployed. Additionally, the world is full of human rights abuses, wars and all their negative effects.

Uganda is part of the world where all these vices and social issues affect the lives of the people, especially in Mbale and Budaka, the two districts where most of our students come from. LIU was started to be part of the solution that can only be possible through a Christ-centered higher education. Because of this, the Word of God is at the center of all its teachings in order to develop disciples of Jesus that are the kind of leaders that can transform Africa.

At present, 395 students have graduated from LIU. Many of them are employed and many others are working as entrepreneurs, having started their own businesses. Most importantly, they are actively impacting their communities for God. This gives evidence that LIU is accomplishing its mission, especially since most of these graduates all came out of generational poverty. Additionally, they wouldn’t have been able to obtain an education without the scholarships LIU offers all first – year students. Investing for Kingdom purpose will enable LIU to continue to produce God fearing young people who, upon graduation and because of the transformative education provided, will transform entire communities for Christ. We are looking for the investors that can help us with our capital growth to expand our campus’ capacity; as well as those that can assist with growing our operational funding.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all donors who have supported LIU for their investment. As well, I take this opportunity to invite many more of you to invest in this very worthy mission. Most importantly, join us in prayer as LIU continues to be part of God’s solution to be light and salt by transforming lives that will transform Africa.

God bless you all,
Henri
