WTM Tanzania

About Wilson Loilole Laiser

WTM Centres are located right across the world — in Australia, Asia, Africa, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, South America, the UK, and the USA — with further Centres continuing to open as support grows for this all-important breakthrough understanding of the human condition.

The founder of WTM Tanzania, Wilson Loilole Laiser, is a non-denominational pastor, and social and political leader. Born and raised in Arusha, Wilson — whose parents were Maasai by tribe — is married with four children: a son and three daughters. He has a Diploma in Bible & Church Ministries from the Northern Bible College in Arusha, an Advance Diploma of Leadership from the Emit Training Institute, and a Bachelor of Theology in Christian Leadership from the Japan Bible Institute.

After being ordained as a pastor in 1982, Wilson went to Simanjiro in the Maasai Steppe to begin a new mission, which the Massai called The Living Water Mission. Meeting people of different, faith, beliefs and denominations, Wilson recognised that all humans share common ideas, problems and desire for change, and so he began to take an interest in helping people of all denominations, conducting seminars with fellow ministers across Tanzania, as well as in Kenya and Uganda, as part of the Maridhiano Tanzania society (of which he is Arusha regional secretary). Maridhiano is Swahili for ‘be reconciled’.

Wilson has held party secretary roles with the political group, Alliance for Change and Transparency (ACT-Wazalendo), in the Arusha and Meru districts. He speaks Swahili, Maasai, other local Tanzanian languages, and English.
