  • Ashinaga Uganda Dormitory Nansana, Uganda
    2019 On Site Review Report by Bekim Ramku 5210.UGA Ashinaga Uganda Dormitory Nansana, Uganda Architect Terrain Architects / Ikko Kobayashi, Fumi Kashimura Client Ashinaga Uganda Design 2011-2014 Completed 2015 Ashinaga Uganda Dormitory Nansana, Uganda I. Introduction The Ashinaga Uganda Dormitory is located in a rapidly urbanising suburban town, 13 kilometres from Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. It stands on the equator but is high above sea level – giving it a comfortable climate, with winds blowing towards and from Lake Victoria, which lies in the south. This is a residential school for orphans – a home for 50 students from different countries in sub-Saharan Africa, where they learn how to live together with people of diverse cultures and where they prepare to enter universities abroad. The building materials were locally sourced – the bricks were made locally and were carefully selected. Through the long process of construction, masons and labourers developed pride in these hand-made bricks, which they had originally thought had no value. II. Contextual information A. Brief historical background Ikko Kobayashi, an architecture student from Japan, visited Uganda in 2003 for his gap year, and volunteered with the Ugandan-Japanese NGO Ashinaga Uganda, then as a visiting student at Makerere University and as the intern for a local architectural office. The NGO, founded in Japan to offer educational support to orphans, launched its international activities as a repayment of the world’s contribution after the 1995 Kobe Earthquake. At that time, Uganda had over two million orphaned children who had lost their parents because of HIV, thus Ashinaga decided to begin their activities here.

  • 100-YEAR VISION SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM 2015 Educational Support (Full-Scholarship) for African Students Who Have Lost Parent(S)
    – providing educational and psychological support to children worldwide who have lost parents 1-6-8 Hirakawa-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 102-8639, Japan ☎ +81 (3) 3221-0888 www.ashinaga.org 100-YEAR VISION SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM 2015 Educational Support (Full-Scholarship) for African Students Who Have Lost Parent(s) Ashinaga is looking for talented students from 49 Sub-Saharan African countries who have lost one or both parents and are willing to pursue their further studies in the world’s leading universities. The applicant must be in the final year of high school, have graduated from high school, or in the first year or second year of university. 1. Ashinaga Educational Support for African Children Within the next 50 years, Sub-Saharan Africa has the potential to become the largest region in the world, not only in terms of population, but also in the size of its economy. However, it is also likely that the gap between the rich and poor in the continent will dramatically increase. If such a situation comes to pass, it will be even more difficult for destitute children who have lost parents to receive a decent education. Today, the implementation of the “Ashinaga Educational Support for African Children Who Have Lost Parents” is one of the Ashinaga movement’s central projects. The project aims to provide higher education opportunities to Africa’s talented children at the world’s leading academic institutions. Ultimately, it aims to liberate bereaved children in Sub-Saharan Africa from the chains of poverty and provide them with the education that they require to return to their homes as leaders in the fight against poverty.

Tout comme dans le livre, Ashinaga fournit un soutien anonyme de nature éducative et psychologique à des enfants ayant perdu un ou deux de leurs parents. Au cours de ces 45 dernières années, Ashinaga a récolté un milliard de dollars permettant ainsi à plus de 95 000 étudiants orphelins de poursuivre leur éducation supérieure au Japon. Depuis 2000, Ashinaga a développé ses activités en dehors du Japon et soutient maintenant une communauté mondiale de jeunes défavorisés. 95,000 10 BUREAUX ÉTUDIANTS DANS LE AIDÉS MONDE ASHINAGA DANS LE MONDE À Ashinaga, nous pensons que tous les enfants ayant perdu leurs parents doivent avoir l’opportunité d’accéder à l’éducation.
