Why the Name “Nile”?
At Nile Debate, our name is inspired by the story of Moses—a reluctant speaker called to lead and to speak on behalf of truth. In Exodus 4, God chooses Moses not because of his eloquence, but in spite of his weakness, promising instead, “I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.” That promise reflects our heart: to equip students not just with argumentation and evidence, but with the confidence that their words have purpose. Just as God transformed water from the Nile into a sign of His power, we believe debate can be a tool for transformation—shaping leaders who speak with courage, conviction, and clarity in a world that desperately needs truth.
