“Two things that sold us were the facts that the ALU’s objective was to raise up leaders for Africa and they inculcate in the students a love for entrepreneurship. Currently my son who is a second year student has an online business which he runs with his friend. He couldn't have done this if ALU hadn't put this seed in him.”
Maamesi Mark-HansenParent
“My desire for entrepreneurship sparked up at ALU without a doubt. But more importantly I gained confidence to take risks and follow through with projects.”
Esi AkotiaAlumni
“I see it in our son. The ability to be empathetic and not only concerned about problems around him but finding ways to solve them. The network spirit at ALU has instilled in him that spirit of "I can’t do it alone, I need to work with others." The network, the people he met, and the diversity of internships have also all had a positive impact.”
Surama KingParent
“My children have turned out to be strong professionals; mature in their approaches to the way they work, creative in the options they take, and assertive. You find that their intellectual thinking and commitment to the African continent is par excellent.”
Justice Gertrude TorkornooParent
“I am a happy parent as I received a finished, market-ready product from ALU. This was made possible by ALU’s internship program. I am delighted that my son is transitioning into a graduate training program, and this has only been possible because of the experience he gained during the three years he spent at ALU. “
