Our aim is to educate and empower leaders across disciplines to drive positive change in their communities.
Africa Renewal University (AfRU) is situated in the heart of Uganda, specifically in Wakiso district, 20 KM along the Kampala-Mityana Road, within the Buloba Township.
Dedicated to equipping Christian leaders for societal transformation, AfRU is a Christian institution of higher learning. The university is chartered by the government of Uganda.
The university’s mission is to equip Christian leaders for the transformation of society.
AfRU remains one of the leading universities in Uganda, offering a serene and inviting envirnment for learning. The achievement of charter status is evidence of our unshakable commitment to leadership development, character development, and academic success. Our commitment to offering high-quality, Christ-centered education that prepares people for a life of strategic leadership and service is highlighted by our charter status. AfRU’s commitment to quality education remains at the core of our mission.
At AfRU, we recognize that education has the capacity to change lives and has a profound effect on society. With the committed faculty, staff, students, alumni, partners, council and trustees, we are well-positioned to carry out our mission with even more passion and a renewed sense of purpose. We are committed to achieving academic success, ethical behavior, and values that surpass the standards set by our partners, students, and families.
AfRU views the world broadly. Our academic community is a remarkable mix of backgrounds and cultures. Although AfRU is located in Uganda, a varied range of countries, including Kenya, South Sudan, Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Nigeria, Eritrea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and more, are represented among our faculty and student body. Our campus is enhanced by the diverse array of nationalities and experiences, which also improves our cross-cultural interactions. It reinforces our commitment to our value of global perspectives and the understanding that education transcends borders.
Together, we continue to foster an environment of learning, innovation, and community that will empower the next generation of Christian leaders to address the pressing challenges of our time. As we continue on our journey, the future is indeed bright, and I am excited to explore it together with you all.
With heartfelt enthusiasm, I welcome you to AfRU!
