Our Impact

In just six years, we have educated almost 125 gifted young women from 12 countries across Africa, developing their potential as Africa's future STEM leaders. Our students are truly exceptional and we believe they will play a key role in the transformation of the continent.

Our students come from some of the most disadvantaged backgrounds across Africa - without the intervention of ASA, their incredible talents would be wasted simply because they could not afford their education. Our world-class education has unlocked more than £5million in university scholarships for our exceptional students to attend leading universities around the world.

We have also trained 400 teachers across Ghana, benefitting 40,000 schoolchildren and improving STEM education across the country.

“In the short time ASA has been around, I have seen some amazing results. Their girls do not only come out well prepared for university work, they also demonstrate a great level of confidence and readiness to support others.”

— Araba Botchway, Ashesi Admissions 

“ASA is a small school with a big vision to train the next generation of female scientists and engineers from Africa. The education atmosphere breeds more than a STEM training, the virtues and values imbibed into these young girls is what Africa needs to inspire leaders.”
