Ashinaga runs a leadership program called the Ashinaga Africa Initiative. This program supports talented students from across sub-Saharan Africa who have lost one or both parents by providing access to undergraduate education in Japan, the U.K., Europe and the U.S.A. In addition, we help those admitted to our program to secure top-quality internships and job opportunities across sub-Saharan Africa.
It is our vision for those in our program to become strong, progressive leaders and return back to their community or continent to contribute to a significant positive change.
We have just opened applications for this program across the continent and we would be grateful if you could help us share this opportunity on your website. The application is open to those who:
- Have lost one or both parents.
- Have completed secondary school and passed the national secondary school examination (technical and vocational degrees not accepted) within the last two years (any date after 1st August 2020 including all of 2021 and 2022 or will have completed secondary school and received final exam results before February 20th, 2023).
- Were born after 1st September 2000.
- Are regularly ranked in the top 10% of their class during their last 2 or 3 years of secondary school.
- Are committed to return home, or to Sub-Saharan Africa, and contribute to society in Sub-Saharan Africa after graduating from university.
