Pillar One
Awareness & Community Engagement
"ANNI believes that awareness is the first line of defence. Many neurological events are preventable or can be better managed if people know what to look for."
What we do
- Public education campaigns about stroke, aneurysm, Moyamoya, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases.
- Community forums, faith-based outreach, school programs, and digital campaigns.
- Development and dissemination of simple, multilingual educational materials.
- Survivor stories, including the founder's story, to break stigma and fear.
- Website and social media platforms sharing verified neuro health information.
What we do
- Community neuro-risk screening days in partnership with local clinics and hospitals.
- Clear referral pathways for diagnostics and specialist neurological care.
- "Know Your Brain Risk" checklists and digital self-assessment tools.
- Patient-friendly guides on neurological warning signs people should never ignore.
Pillar Two
Early Screening & Preventive Care
"Early detection saves lives. ANNI works to make basic neurological risk screening accessible, practical, and actionable."
Pillar Three
Lifestyle & Self-Management Support
"When surgery is expensive or unavailable, ANNI empowers people with practical tools for living well with neurological conditions."
What we do
- Practical guides on lifestyle modification — nutrition, exercise, blood pressure control, and stress management tailored to African realities.
- Group support sessions for patients and caregivers living with chronic neurological conditions.
- Medication adherence and follow-up support through reminders and community health worker check-ins.
- Tools and resources helping individuals manage neurological conditions day-to-day.
What we do
- Baseline surveys on awareness, risk factors, and access to neuro care in selected regions.
- Patient registries for priority neurological conditions including Moyamoya and stroke.
- Collaborative African-led research with universities, hospitals, and specialists.
- Policy briefs and technical reports supporting ministries of health and development partners.
Pillar Four
NeuroResearch & Data Hub
"ANNI is committed to African-led research. Without local data, it becomes difficult to build effective services, influence policy, and improve neurological care systems."
Pillar Five
Capacity Building & Partnerships
"Sustainable impact requires strong people and partnerships. ANNI invests in those who deliver care on the front lines."
What we do
- Training workshops for community health workers, nurses, and primary care doctors on early recognition and referral of neurological conditions.
- Partnerships with African neuroscience and neurosurgical societies, teaching hospitals, medical schools, and international research networks.
- An Advisory Panel including neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, public health experts, and patient advocates.
- Technical input into policy discussions on non-communicable diseases and neuro care in Africa.
