The Ashby Foundation
is a non-profit charitable organization devoted to
providing humanitarian assistance where it is most
needed. All of the Ashby Foundation efforts are
currently focused in island nation of Cape Verde, West
Africa. These efforts are centered on creating a
long-term impact on individual lives through educational
assistance and employment related training. We
believe in the concept of teaching a man to fish instead
of giving him a fish.
Who We Are
