Eden University, formerly known as Eden Institute, is a private institution of higher education located in Lusaka Zambia.[1]

It is affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church and has made notable humanitarian contributions to the less privileged in Zambia.[2][3]

In 2018, the university organized an event that was supposed to feature PLO Lumumba and talk about Chinese influence on Africa, but due to the controversial nature of the topic, the government denied him entry into the country.[4]

Established in 2010 as a teachers' training institute, Eden University has, over the years, evolved into a large university that boasts of being the first Zambian institution to offer a bachelor's degree in Fire Engineering.[5][6]
