The woman behind the business matters.

At Kayana, we believe supporting women entrepreneurs means supporting the whole woman — her confidence, resilience, leadership, decisions and ability to navigate the realities of building a business.

This September, we’re bringing together women entrepreneurs for a 3-month leadership journey exploring:

✨ Personal agency & decision-making
✨ Confidence & self-belief
✨ Growth & intentional expansion
✨ Boundaries & emotional labour
✨ Support systems
✨ Visibility & success
✨ Navigating a gendered business environment

📅 September–November 2026
💻 6 virtual + 2 in-person sessions
💰 KES 25,000 | Payment plans available

As we take a moment to pause and reflect, the Kayana team will be taking a short break to rest, recharge and prepare for the exciting months ahead.

Please note that our offices will be closed from 29th July to 14th August 2026.

During this period, our team will be taking a well-deserved break and responses to membership inquiries, emails and other requests may be delayed. We will be fully back and ready to engage with you from 17th August 2026.
RISE Program applications WILL still be ongoing during this period.

We are grateful for your continued support, partnership and commitment to the Kayana community. We look forward to returning refreshed and ready to continue building, connecting and creating impact together.

Warmly,
The Kayana Team

What a beautiful evening it was celebrating Women to Watch 2026: Creatives Edition through an unforgettable fashion experience in collaboration with Hawi Ready To Wear , founded by The Traveling CEO —who is also one of this year’s incredible magazine features.

We loved bringing together a room full of inspiring women, creatives and supporters for an immersive runway experience that celebrated the talent, innovation and impact of women shaping Kenya’s creative industry.

A heartfelt thank you to Embe Creatives for graciously hosting us and opening your beautiful space, and to the entire Embe community for embracing and immersing yourselves in the experience. Special thanks to Nyerere Michael and R E G A L I A A P P A R E L®

To our partners, thank you for believing in our vision and helping make both the magazine and this event a success. Your support continues to amplify the voices and stories of remarkable women in the creative space.

Five years ago, what began as a sustainability initiative supported by the UK-Kenya Tech Hub has grown into something truly meaningful : an annual celebration that recognizes and honors outstanding women-led MSMEs.

This year, the Kayana Awards turns 5. 🎉

Five years of celebrating resilience, innovation, growth and transformation. Five years of bringing together entrepreneurs, partners and supporters to recognize the incredible women building businesses despite an increasingly challenging business environment.

As we celebrate this milestone, we’re excited for what lies ahead. Here’s to growing our community, creating even greater impact, and celebrating many more women-led businesses over the next five years and beyond.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey! 🎉
