<div id="yiv1985183007yui_3_2_0_14_13201763621796264" style="right: auto;"> </div>
<div id="yiv1985183007yui_3_2_0_14_13201763621796266" style="right: auto;">Africas greatest entrepreneurs seem to be saying we dont need social busieness specifically we need all good business models and transparent leaders- with pharma, computing and mass media and horticulture four of the people I met look like being unstoppable forces for good in their sectors</div>

Ashesi’s groundbreaking curriculum, unique in Africa, fosters critical thinking, problem solving, and a concern for others. Ashesi students are challenged to adapt their skills to Africa’s realities; as a result, over 95% of our 269 graduates have chosen to stay in Africa, where they contribute to efficiency, transparency and progress in a wide range of private and NGO enterprises. <br/><br/></span><span class="H2">Our US foundation connects you to this African-initiated enterprise</span> <span class="bodyText" id="yui_3_2_0_15_13195598830491481" style="right: auto;"><br/>Ashesi was founded by Patrick Awuah (AA-wah), a Ghanaian who chose to leave his successful software career in the US to return home and promote progress in Africa. The Ashesi University Foundation, based in Seattle, Washington, USA, is a 501(c)(3) organization designed to help US and international donors support the University. The foundation was instrumental in helping Dr. Awuah establish Ashesi, and continues to inspire a global community. <br/><br/>Generous donors help fund scholarships for students in need, new programs and campus infrastructure.
