Anais Menounos is the co-founder of St Nicholas Mission Academy (St Nic’s) in Kokrobite, Ghana, a school dedicated to providing free education to children living in poverty. After completing her law degree at UNSW and Kambala, Anais took a gap year in 2018 to volunteer in Ghana, where she witnessed firsthand the barriers to education, particularly for young girls. Inspired by these experiences, she partnered with Inusah Amidu to establish St Nic’s, which began with 15 students in a rented old church hall.

Today, the school has grown to over 250 students across 10 classes, offering free tuition, meals, healthcare, and extracurricular programs, including ICT coding, swimming and cultural arts. Despite challenges such as community skepticism and the COVID-19 pandemic, St Nic’s has flourished, breaking cycles of poverty through education. Anais balances her work at St Nic’s with her legal career at Gilbert + Tobin in Sydney and continues to drive fundraising, partnerships, and strategic growth for the school.

Now celebrating its seven-year anniversary, St Nic’s has profoundly impacted Kokrobite, empowering children with knowledge and opportunities beyond what their parents ever had. Anais’ journey is a testament to the power of education and the difference one person can make in changing lives.

KOG is very proud of Anais' incredible achievements and honoured to be able to induct her into our Inspirational Old Girl Series this year - We hope you can join us to celebrate with Anais and our school community!
