Take a Look at Ashesi donor impact in 2016

It’s been an eventful year at Ashesi…
and we want to say thank you for helping make our successes possible

  • Welcomed 791 students to campus – our largest student body yet, who will go on to transform Africa through their service and leadership
  • Admitted our second engineering cohort – 41% of whom are women, moving toward our goal of gender parity
  • Completed fundraising of 5 new campus buildings – a health center, engineering workshop, faculty housing, business incubation space and a new student dormitory

Thank you to our donors and advocates who helped make these achievements possible!
