Our Impact
At Ashinaga USA, we measure impact two ways:
Access to higher education for high-achieving, low-income students;
Our Graduates’ contribution to social change and development in Sub-Saharan Africa.
“As a digital animator and advocate, I am helping to grow Botswana’s creative industry and support social development. At Voodoo Advertising, I create high-quality 2D and 3D animations for top local brands, improving how they tell their stories and connect with audiences. As the President of the Care Leavers Association, I work to support vulnerable youth by creating systems that help them integrate into society. Through my work in animation and advocacy, I am combining creativity and leadership to make a positive impact in Botswana.” -Molefi, Ashinaga Graduate, Class of 2022
