Historical background of UDF

Tanzania as a developing Country faces Social and Economic challenges which as a result some members of the Community in particular citizen with special needs such as People with Disabilities and Orphans, faill to take part in the normal life of the community on an equal level with others. Such situation faced the Community of the first Christians too as we read from Acts 6:1-6. The Church stood together and seeks for the solution. The same Spirit derived the Church in the Northern Diocese in 1993 to present the idea of developing a training centre for Deacons, who later willdevelop diaconal ministries of the Church in Tanzania.

In 1995 the work started and surprisingly within a short time, a school for deacons, dormitories/Brothers house, dining hall, and the Chapel were built. 1996 the first Deacon students were received for the training. To date the Centre has trained over 30 Young Men who has successfully finished studies and been ordained to be Deacons of the ELCT Northern Diocese and formed a Brotherhood – “UshirikawaDiakoniaFaraja”. We have also trained 8 Men from South Central Diocese who after the training at Faraja,they are ordained in their own respective Diocese and join there their Brotherhood in Tandala.

ELCT Northern Diocese owned a peace of land 155 acres at Sabuko in Siha District now; (by then it was Hai District which was divided into Hai and Siha), that was then chosen to establish Deacon training Centre.Dr. Neuckum, by then the Director of Rummelsberg Brotherhood and president of Diaconal foundations in Germany and Bishop Dr. Erasto N. Kweka approached Mission Eine Welt and Rummelsberg Brotherhood in Bavaria for Financial and Human resource support to put the Idea of deacon training in Tanzania into reality.

In line with deacon training, the idea of developing a special school for physical disabilities children, for the purpose of deacon students practices was presented. In the year 2000 construction work for the school began under the financial support of the Tolmie’s Family from Virginia USA in cooperation with ELCT Northern Diocese. The school was officialylauched in July 2001So far ………… have successful graduated.
