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.
