Our Mission

Ashinaga USA represents the Ashinaga Africa Initiative (AAI) in the US. We support high-achieving, low-income students from Sub-Saharan Africa who have lost one or both parents.

Our mission focuses on our Scholars' personal, academic and professional development:

• We strive to instill in them the values of ethical and innovative leadership.

• We aim to equip them with tools to succeed academically in US universities.

• We seek to foster their desire to return to Sub-Saharan Africa and to make significant contribution to social change and development in their communities across the continent.
