About This Year’s Campaign
We’re raising funds for our leadership programme, which empowers Ashinaga Scholars in the UK with the skills and experiences they need to help develop the African continent.
Campaign Aims
A leadership training camp, gathering Ashinaga UK Scholars into one place for 3 days of workshops, talks, and presentations. Sessions will be led by outside speakers and the Scholars themselves. We also place emphasis on peer-bonding, skills training, and strengthening connection with Africa.
Ashinaga UK Scholars attend relevant conferences focused on African development, important for their networking and proposal research.
Scholars take up career-relevant internships in African countries in 2025 and beyond.
Ultimately, Ashinaga Scholars in the UK gain the skills, experiences, and connections they need to help develop Africa in both the short and longer-term.
Your support can help fund internships in the African continent, such as this one at Crystal Water Solutions in Malawi.
About The Big Give Christmas Challenge
The Christmas Challenge is the UK’s biggest collaborative fundraising campaign, championing a wide range of charitable organisations.
It uses a Pledge Model to enable supporters to double donations during the campaign. See the video for information on how this model works.
Last year, £33 million was raised for more than 1,000 charities. Previously, we’ve raised over £9,000 through The Big Give… and this year we’re aiming to raise even more!
