Measuring Our Impact
Africa has a web of visible needs: better sanitation, healthcare, infrastructure, education,
and jobs. But one necessity is less obvious: Africa urgently needs a new generation who care
about these challenges, and who have the courage, persistence and skills to address them.
Ashesi University in Ghana was founded to test the hypothesis that young Africans, educated
at the university level in a way that nurtures ethics, innovation, and entrepreneurship,
would become a force for change.
