Our Work

We Create Young Leaders for Africa.

We recruit brilliant youth from African countries for undergraduate scholarships in the UK.

We provide leadership training and access to professional opportunities.

Ashinaga Scholars create initiatives to help people in the African continent.

After graduating, they return home and keep developing their communities.

We Work with Orphaned Youth Who Are Passionate About Helping Others.

Each Ashinaga Scholar has lost one or both parents, and comes from economically-deprived backgrounds.

They each have a strong drive to help others, often starting initiatives to improve their communities before being selected by Ashinaga.

They are academically excellent, in the top 5% of their country’s school system.

We work in Africa because it is a continent with enormous challenges but even bigger potential.

Ashinaga Graduates Transform Their Communities.

Since 2019 — when the first two Ashinaga UK students completed their undergraduate courses — we have seen more and more students graduate and start making their impact on the African continent.

Examples of UK graduates making an impact in Africa include: teaching in medical universities, working as a civil engineer developing infrastructure, and doing policy analysis for a nation’s president.
