Who we are
About us
Over the last 40 years, the New Life Band has developed an active and vibrant ministry to youth and students, primarily teenagers in Tanzania in many ways such as building and operating the New Life Secondary School to educate and build future leaders for Tanzania, school visitations, national youth camps and conferences, outdoor Christian rallies, gospel concerts and performances, and one-on-one counselling and guidance. Its ministry is committed to reaching out to help today’s youth of Tanzania caught up in an atmosphere of poverty, unemployment, substance abuse, and lack of direction for their lives. The New Life Band’s mission to youth and students serves young people intellectually, spiritually and emotionally.

How lucky we were to benefit from your visit to Chaddesley Corbett First School. The New Life Band made quite an impression on children here. Although they have heard African music and met people from Africa, they have never seen the singing and drumming nor benefited from live dancing.
