In a world where doubt is often the first thing handed to women, some still stand against the odds.

Today at Menya Accelerator, we are celebrating every woman who takes even baby steps to challenge the narrative. Every woman building a business that solves a real need in a community that once shadowed her potential.

Thank you for being strong and inspiring. For believing in yourself before anyone else did.

Join us in giving them their well-deserved flowers. 🌹

Congratulations to our incredible participants of the Entrepreneurship Program – 5th Edition 🥳

From sharp pitches to rich exchanges and honest reflections, we wrapped up our 1-month Acceleration phase beautifully, stepping confidently into bold next steps ahead.

As you enter the mentorship phase, we can’t wait to see your ideas stretch, evolve, and grow. This is just the beginning.

Here’s to new opportunities and bold steps ahead.
Keep going, we believe in you.

As part of the 1-month acceleration phase of the Menya Entrepreneurship Program, we continued our tradition of connecting our current cohort with Menya alumni directly in the field - because that’s where real growth unfolds 💙.

Our entrepreneurs visited:

- Galume, founder of Jardin de la Mode, who continues to raise the bar in tailoring and design through creativity, precision, and professionalism.

- Niyonkuru, founder of Burundi Classic Craftworks Company, whose passion and commitment to eco-friendly artistry are redefining local décor.

Thank you for the rich exchanges that reminded us of an essential truth:

🎯 Entrepreneurship is a continuous learning journey. Even the clearest theories shift once tested in the real world.

✨ Growth happens through listening, experimenting, learning, failing forward, and staying intentional - especially when the unexpected appears.

We are proud of our alumni and even prouder to see our current cohort learning directly from their stories, resilience, and impact📌.

I would like to share the IG caption for review.
One session at a time and yes, it kept us busy building real momentum! 📈✨

From legal foundations to strategic partnerships, our entrepreneurs have been consistently leveling up. 🚀

Thanks to Mr. Richard, finance expert with 7+ years of experience, participants gained a clear roadmap on what every startup needs to operate legally in Burundi from ADB registration to OBR tax obligations, INSS requirements, and practical financial management tools. A true eye-opener for early-stage founders.

We then dove into market research, challenging entrepreneurs to rethink who their customers truly are and how to build efficient, user-centered solutions. Because understanding customer psychology isn’t optional , it’s essential for growth.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Alrette Iradukunda, founder of Care Connect Physiotherapy, participants explored how to identify, approach, secure, and sustain win-win partnerships. From navigating the ecosystem to nurturing long-term collaborations, this session revealed the “how” behind strategic alliances that last.

We’re incredibly proud of the progress so far and even more excited for what’s ahead.

The journey continues. ⚡

What an exciting way to kick off the last trimester of a remarkable year! ✨

We’re thrilled to welcome a new cohort of entrepreneurs, changemakers who dare to invest their energy and creativity into solving real, everyday challenges.

As they build connections within the cohort, we began by setting clear goals, and each session now marks a step toward meaningful progress and tangible growth.

A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Harambe Célestin, a Public-Private Partnership expert, for unpacking the art of building resilient and sustainable startups.
And to Ms. Neilla Confiance, founder of Neilla Candles, for her insightful session on Market Positioning Strategy, guiding participants on how to stand out while keeping customers truly satisfied.

It’s a pleasure for Menya Accelerator to walk alongside these entrepreneurs as they act, adapt, and grow with purpose and vision.

The journey has only just begun — congratulations to our new cohort! 🚀
