Wesley College is a United Methodist college in Mwanza, Tanzania. Opening in 2017 with 18 students in theology, Wesley College now educates over 240 students a year in theology, community development, and business with more programs on the way. Wesley College Foundation works to create access to practical, entrepreneurial education at Wesley College in order to help form servant leaders for the church and community. In a country where 50% of the population is under the age of 25 there has never been a more important time to ensure youth and young adults are receiving the values based education and leadership formation which Wesley College is offering.
