AAI 2024 Applications are Now Open

   
The Ashinaga Africa Initiative (AAI) was established in 2014 to support orphaned African students who aspire to pursue higher education. AAI recognizes that the loss of parents can be a significant barrier to educational access for many talented and motivated young Africans.

Through scholarships, mentorship, and various support programs, AAI aims to bridge this gap and empower these students to achieve their dreams and positively impact their communities.

One of the cornerstones of the Ashinaga Africa Initiative is its leadership program, which offers financial support for higher education to orphaned students from across the African continent. The scholarships cover tuition fees, accommodation, and other essential expenses, ensuring that financial constraints do not impede the pursuit of knowledge and personal growth.
