Inspired by the motto: Godliness and Excellence for Servanthood, the goal of Kumi University is to enable every student encounter a formative environment and a culture that prioritizes moral living and Servanthood leadership.  It is Unique in terms of its History, Location, Vision and Mission. Kumi University was founded by Korean Missionary couple Hyeong Lyeol Lyu and Mrs. Minja Lee in 1999. It developed from Africa Leaders’ Training Institute (ALTI), which was established in 1996 to meet the demands of the local community.

The University Foundation was then approved by Ugandan Government in 2004 with document No. 66491. The University later acquired the operational License the same year with National Council For Higher Education NCHE (UI..PL..002 NCHE). The University was established:  To provide quality, affordable, community tailored, Christian based higher education.







Kumi University is established in the scenic country side of TESO’s spectacular inselbergs, next to the famous Old Stone Age Site Nyero Rock Paintings in Kumi District, Eastern part of Uganda.

The University is in the advanced stages of acquiring the civil charter from the government of Uganda. Once this

process is complete, the University will open its gates for higher degree programmes(Masters, PhD….). Currently,

the University runs three major study schedules for undergraduate programmes: External for in-service teachers, Week end for busy and/or employed executives, and Full time for direct entrants (O and A) level leavers.
