You’re Not Just Building a School —
You’re Building Future Leaders

UBORA’s leadership pipeline is transforming Tanzania.
But right now, there’s a critical gap.

After graduating from UBORA’s Leadership Primary School, students continuing their education must go away to boarding schools where many lose their spiritual foundation and academic momentum or drop out altogether.

While UBORA has worked to slow this leak in the pipeline by having UBORA social workers make regular visits to the boarding schools to keep students growing in their faith and academics, the system is imperfect, and it’s costing Tanzania some of its future leaders.

That’s why we’re building the solution: the UBORA Leadership STEM School — a place where students are equipped with a biblical worldview and the skills and character to solve Tanzania’s most urgent problems.

This school extends discipleship and education by six critical years, and will double the reach of UBORA and prepare students from ages 12 to 18 to thrive as Christ-centered leaders.

Why a STEM High School?

Tanzania stands at a tipping point. Its population is booming, its youth hold incredible potential, and its challenges are complex. But the country lacks enough skilled leaders to address its problems from within.

A high school that integrates STEM disciplines, Christian discipleship, and servant leadership is the strategic key to raising up the innovators, problem-solvers, and changemakers Tanzania needs as the country goes through the process of expanding it industrialization and growing its national infrastructure.

Most students in Tanzania get no hands-on experience in problem-solving. Even graduates in computer science finish their schooling without ever laying hands on a keyboard. But UBORA students won’t just learn about innovation. They’ll practice it. They’ll graduate with more hands-on training than most Tanzanian college students. And they’ll be ready to lead.

UBORA is not just responding to this moment in Africa’s story — we are preparing students to lead it.

A School Like No Other

The UBORA Leadership STEM School will be:

Faith-driven

Grounded in a biblical worldview in every subject

STEM-focused

Offering hands-on learning in agribusiness, mechatronics, and IT

Home-grown

Staffed by highly trained Tanzanian educators who model excellence and faith

Solution-oriented

Preparing students to tackle issues like food insecurity, public health, infrastructure, and joblessness

Equitable

Providing boarding for girls and boys from UBORA’s Sponsorship Project and beyond — including those who can pay full tuition to help sustain the model

A Model

Pioneering a flagship school that serves as a guide for other schools to leapfrog their current educational challenges

Project Progress & Strategic Impact

✅ 50-acre campus already secured in a fertile agricultural region

✅ Groundbreaking Q1 2025; construction has begun

✅ Construction underway of labs, dorms, classrooms, and dining

⏳Opening to first students in January 2026

✔ Will double school’s capacity to 610

✔ Will graduate 100+ Christ-centered leaders every year

✔ Will be fully financially sustainable in six years

Campaign Goals

  • Total Project Goal: $4MM
    Note: Building the equivalent of The UBORA Leadership STEM School in North Atlanta would cost $65MM to build, plus $8.5MM every year for teacher salaries, utilities, and maintenance.

  • Raised/Pledged: $1.4 million

  • Support from the Tanzania Minister of Education: achieved!

How You Can Help
Build the Future

Pray. Share. Give.

Your gift directly builds the physical foundations of a leadership pipeline — dorms, classrooms, science labs, and discipleship spaces that will shape Tanzania’s next generation of engineers, doctors, teachers, public servants, and professionals in the foundational fields of agribusiness, mechatronics, and IT.

What’s at Stake

Without this school, too many of UBORA’s high-potential leaders will continue to fall through the cracks.

With it, Tanzania will gain leaders who:

  • Think critically and solve local problems

  • Lead with integrity and servant hearts

  • Disciple others and multiply change

  • Build a future of flourishing, for their nation and the continent around them

You can help fix the leak in the pipeline and raise up a generation that transforms a nation — and reaches the world.
