Meriel KurgatBiography
As the CEO and Co-founder of NichiAfrica, I provide strategic leadership and vision for the company, ensuring we stay true to our mission of transforming the African animation landscape. I lead the team on partnership development, content acquisition, and platform growth, guiding the company's long-term goals while overseeing day-to-day operations. I work closely with our team and animation studios across the continent to build a vibrant, inclusive distribution platform that showcases modern African stories to a global audience. My role also involves fundraising, investor relations, brand positioning, and ensuring NichiAfrica remains both culturally authentic and commercially sustainable.
Company Overview
At NichiAfrica, our mission is to become the leading VOD (Video On Demand) channel dedicated to strengthening African animations, a space where creators finally get the visibility they deserve. With distribution channels for homegrown African animation still scarce, we are building a platform that bridges this gap and celebrates the continent’s creativity. We specialize in distributing and promoting content in innovative, culturally grounded ways. We collaborate directly with animation creators across the continent and help studios reach new markets through our exclusive streaming channel tailored for African animation. Our priority is to entertain children across Africa and beyond by showcasing vibrant, authentic stories crafted by African animators, for African audiences. We believe in empowering local creators while giving kids relatable, inspiring content they can call their own.
