Menaye Donkor was born in 1983. She was brought up by her parents in Accra, Ghana, and is the youngest of seven siblings with four brothers and two sisters. At the age of seven Menaye inherited the job title of “Royal Stool Bearer” for her paternal grandmother, who is the Queen Mother of Agona Asafo.

In her early twenties she started modelling after winning the “Miss Universe Ghana 2004” pageant, and graced the covers of many magazines in Ghana. She also did editorial work for magazines in South Africa, Milan and Canada.

In 2004, soon after the pageant, she established the Menaye Charity Foundation, and took over the running of the Menaye International School which her parents set up in 2001.

Menaye is now solely responsible for raising funds to support the school, which provides quality education to rural under privileged children. So far, over 500 children have been through the school and the facilities are continually expanding.

Through her Charity Foundation, Menaye also supports an orphanage in the eastern region of Ghana, providing medical care for over 600 orphans infected with HIV or AIDS.

In 2006 Menaye met Inter Milan footballer, Sulley Muntari, at the World Cup finals in Germany. In 2010 the pair got married in Dzorwulu, Accra on Christmas Day.

Her business interests are primarily in property and she runs her own property development company, Zafra Ltd, which focuses on renting out and developing properties in Ghana’s capital, Accra. Menaye intends to branch out into the food and entertainment industry.
