Workplace Wellness Africa

Today's Workplace.
Your Future.

Your people are your business. We help organisations across Kenya build environments where employees can actually do their best work, without burning out, breaking down or walking out.

What We Do Why We Exist

How We Work

Our consulting work funds our advocacy. This is not a side project; it is the engine that makes the mission sustainable.

Organisational Consulting

We work directly with businesses to design work environments where balance is built into the structure, not left to individual willpower. This includes financial literacy programmes, mental wellbeing education for employees, and audits of workplace policies that quietly erode human capacity.

Education & Training

Most managers have never been trained to recognise burnout, and most employees have never been taught to manage money. We deliver culturally grounded curricula on mental health literacy, financial planning, and the early warning signs that organisations tend to ignore until it is too late.

Training Programmes →

Advocacy & Reform

Across Africa, mental illness is still routinely misattributed to spiritual causes, and employees who need therapy cannot access it without a clinical sick note for a physical ailment. We advocate for evidence-based mental health assessment, responsible prescribing practices, and workplace policies flexible enough to accommodate human beings.

What People Say

From the people and organisations we are building this for.

"As an educational psychologist, I see daily how schools and institutions ignore the mental load on their staff. Workplace Wellness Africa is the kind of initiative Kenya has been waiting for. They speak our language, accessible help for everyone."

Jane Muthoni
Educational Psychologist

"Running an SME in Nairobi means wearing every hat. I did not realise how much of my team's low output was connected to stress and financial pressure until I started reading these articles. This is practical, grounded content that actually helps small business owners better manage their teams."

Peter Mwangi
SME Owner, Nairobi

"In the insurance sector, we talk about risk all day but never about the biggest risk sitting in our offices: an exhausted, disengaged workforce. Workplace Wellness Africa is opening conversations that the corporate world in Kenya has been too uncomfortable to have."

Vincent Makokha
Insurance Agency Owner

The Problem Nobody Talks About

In many Kenyan workplaces, an employee showing signs of depression or anxiety is more likely to be taken to a traditional healer than referred to a mental health professional. Symptoms get attributed to spiritual attack. The response is ritual, not clinical assessment.

Even when employees do see a doctor, they are often given sleeping tablets for insomnia caused by overwork, because the root cause: a rigid leave policy, no access to therapy during working hours, unmanageable workloads; is never addressed. The pill treats the symptom. The system stays untouched.

We exist because these are not edge cases. They are the norm. We want employers to retain their talent, productivity and profitability, and we believe this is possible without it coming at the expense of the people doing the work.
