Ashinaga supports orphaned students, as well as children with a parent suffering from a physical or mental disability that prevents them from working. Our support is divided into three main fields: enabling access to education, providing emotional support, and empowering our students. These fields apply to all of our activities in Japan and Sub-Saharan Africa, including the Ashinaga Africa Initiative.<\/p>\n

\u25c6\u3000Ashinaga Africa Initiative\uff08AAI\uff09<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ashinaga established the Ashinaga Africa Initiative in 2014 with the aim of contributing to Sub-Saharan Africa\u2019s long-term development by empowering a generation of future leaders. Our students receive an international university education, comprehensive support throughout their studies, and the means to return home and be agents of positive change.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
