Bio:

Doreen Aninyei is a bilingual economist - turned communications consultant - turned florist / gardener, and now farmer, who is passionate about children, women, girls and youths issues, and in the course of her career as a Communications consultant, helped raise awareness about these issues, providing media relations support for organizations like the Kudirat Initiative for Democracy (KIND) and Haven for the Nigerian Child Foundation â€“ an NGO dedicated to improving the lives of Street Children in Lagos.
Doreen served as a Development Knowledge Facilitator (DKF) in 2006, under the joint World Bank/British Council/NYSC program â€“ Debate to Action (DTA), during which she sensitized youths on the Millennium Development Goals, and in 2010, her passion for womenâ€™s issues led her to the Niger Delta, where she carried out a Monitoring & Evaluation exercise on Women Empowerment Projects in the Niger Delta region for an oil & gas company.  The experience taught her that the economic empowerment of women, could go a very long way to improving the lives of whole communities.
