The Sisters Leadership Development Initiative (SLDI) program, the largest program run by ASEC, has a clear and simple purpose: to provide leadership and technology training to Catholic sisters in Africa.
Year One: A month-long technology workshop in the Basic Technology or Web Design track
Year Two: A month-long leadership workshop in either the Administration or Finance track
Year Three: A month-long leadership workshop in either the Administration or Finance track
“Educated Sisters are key players in overcoming many of Africa’s development challenges”

ASEC aims to create an education pipeline for Catholic sisters in Africa, whereby sisters can complete one ASEC program and potentially enter into another program that builds upon the skills and education they already received. ASEC’s SLDI and Scholarship Program participants are well equipped to succeed in the HESA program. In fact, over 25% of HESA students are alumnae of ASEC’s other programs.
HESA Program Structure
Model A: online-onsite hybrid, sisters study for one-year online at a partner university in the USA, completing 27 credits.
Model B: onsite, sisters study on campus at a partner university in Africa.
