iKiyoú Africa, Africa’s first dedicated mind wellness space for entrepreneurs, has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with MSME Africa, one of the continent’s leading platforms for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
Under the partnership, MSME Africa will serve as the headline sponsor of The Pause Room and the official media hub for iKiyoú Africa. Together, both organizations are creating a pioneering platform where mental wellness and entrepreneurship intersect, setting a new benchmark for how business owners are supported across Africa.
Entrepreneurship remains a powerful engine of economic growth across the continent, but it often comes with relentless pressure, long hours, and hidden mental health challenges. This collaboration aims to change that narrative by providing entrepreneurs with a safe, culturally grounded space to pause, recharge, and build resilience, ensuring that their personal well-being and business performance thrive in tandem.
“This partnership is more than a milestone. It is a movement to place people before profit and to remind entrepreneurs that their mental health is not a luxury, but a foundation for sustainable success,” said Elizabeth Oladepo, Founder of iKiyoú Africa.
“MSME Africa is proud to support an initiative that recognizes the human side of business. By partnering with iKiyoú Africa, we are helping to create an ecosystem where founders can thrive inside and outside the boardroom,” added Seye Olurotimi, Founder of MSME Africa.
Through this partnership, MSME Africa’s vast entrepreneurial reach will be amplified by iKiyoú Africa’s innovative, culturally rooted approach to mental wellness. Together, the organizations seek to spark a continent-wide conversation about the critical link between mental health and entrepreneurial success.
