Creating Sustainable Solutions & Harmony for African Students in India

WHO WE ARE

AASI is a non-profit organization of University students from all countries of the African continent studying in India. Since its foundation in the late 1960s, AASI has expanded its network across India, bringing onboard the best minds among students to serve as dynamic leaders, divergent problem-solvers, and forward thinkers.

WHO WE ARE

AASI is on a mission to promote the collective interest of African students in India and create a platform that encourages the exchange of ideas, dialogue, and proactive participation in society. We aim to strengthen the African student community in India and assist our peers as they navigate through day-to-day events in their lives away from home.

A WORD FROM AASI NATIONAL PRESIDENT

I am honored by the opportunity to lead the Association of African Students in India, a platform that fosters unity and contribution towards a better tomorrow.

With many students from different African countries flying to India to pursue a higher education, it is crucial to create a sense of belongingness and harmony within and between all the communities involved. We understand that facing a variety of unfamiliar situations can feel like a roller-coaster ride and we’re here to make it as worthwhile as we possibly can.

Beyond finding solutions and working towards unity, my team and I strive to move a step forward to encourage networking and widening career horizons. We’re tirelessly working to ensure we are there for our peers whenever they need us.

I am confident that with the consistent support of my team and peers, we will be able to demonstrate our capabilities and make a difference.

God bless Africa!

More power to India.

A WORD FROM AASI NATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT

I feel deeply appreciative for the opportunity to represent my peers as the Vice President of AASI. The shoes to fill are huge, and I have no doubt about my team’s capabilities to raise the bar and add to the remarkable work done by the previous teams.

We are all far from home and trying to make the most of our time in this incredible country. At AASI, in addition to everything else, we endeavor to provide avenues to come together and explore, express ourselves constructively, and form this little home away from home as we recognize the responsibilities we have as people.

As the students that we are, we wish to create and become representatives of our diverse cultures so that everybody can catch a glimpse of the magnificence of our countries. I am confident that moving forward, we will rise above challenges together as we strive to make a difference.

Cheers!
