Chichi Menakaya
Chichi is the founder of Annomo Foundation; an initiative born out of a desire to provide a much more robust, impactive and all-inclusive assistance to the poor and marginalised in Sub-Saharan Africa following over 5 years of success with Okwuí Mask Scheme. This brainchild works in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom and breaches the gap between “victim mentality” and “survivors attitude” by means of self-love and understanding the core basics of violence while discovering the power within each of us.
Chichi is an award winning Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon who has contributed immensely to health care in the United Kingdom. She is the walking paradox of philanthropy with extensive experience of over 24 years in the charitable causes, girl child empowerment, education and healthcare industry,
Chichi has been involved in the creation and implementation of innovative programs, business empowerment project, gender based violence activism, hospital and staff management and delivery of first class clinical care to patients.
Chichi serves as a mentor in different sectors including healthcare, leadership and education. She is constantly invited to speak to thousands of people and has spoken in over 50 international, national and regional meetings or conferences
In her spare time, she enjoys fashion designing and her fashion line “Okwuís_Frocentric”, celebrates African culture while raising money for business ventures for grass root domestic violence survivors in Nigeria.
She loves music, travelling and writing.
