The students come from across the region of Rorya, mainly from farming and fishing backgrounds, and are often unable to afford to pay the course fees. Kowak Theological College offers a Certificate of Theology which is a three-year Undergraduate course. The students study Theology, Church History, Ethics, Pastoral Care and Community Development, among other things.

Anglican Aid and the Diocese are supporting the College to teach Tanzanian students and place trainees in parishes. We are also helping to improve the long-term sustainability of the College through farming and agricultural business projects.
