Africa’s population, growing faster than any other, is projected to become the youngest in the world by 2030. This demographic shift - and the continent’s ability to harness it for economic growth and wellbeing - will be felt by the entire world. Investing in the education and skills of Africa’s young people - its emerging leaders - is vital to ensuring that the continent becomes a powerhouse of innovation and productivity. This is the vision that drives the work of Ashesi University Foundation Canada.

The mission of Ashesi Foundation Canada is to advance the education of ethical, entrepreneurial leaders who will build a flourishing Africa where all can achieve their full potential.
