Honoring Women Transforming Kenya’s Hospitality and Manufacturing Sectors

At the Women Enterprise Awards (WESA) 2025, we continue to celebrate the resilience, innovation, and impact of women across key sectors of Kenya’s economy. In this spotlight, we turn our focus to two vital industries that are powering national development and global competitiveness: **hospitality** and **manufacturing**.

If you are a woman entrepreneur leading change in these sectors, this is your opportunity to be recognized for your vision, leadership, and excellence.

Manufacturing Sector Excellence Award

This category honors a woman-led manufacturing enterprise that has achieved notable success through high production standards, operational excellence, and innovative practices. The ideal nominee must demonstrate measurable market impact, sustainable business growth, and a commitment to driving industrial advancement in Kenya. Whether in textiles, food processing, consumer goods, or industrial products, the award recognizes women who are fueling job creation, strengthening supply chains, and setting new standards for manufacturing in the country.

Hospitality Award

Kenya’s hospitality and tourism sectors continue to grow, thanks in part to women entrepreneurs who bring creativity, quality, and warmth to the industry. This award celebrates a woman-led enterprise that stands out for excellence in service delivery, innovation, and sustainable business practices within the hospitality, tourism, or food and beverage sectors. Nominees should showcase strong customer satisfaction, business growth, and meaningful contributions to Kenya’s tourism landscape—whether through a boutique hotel, restaurant, tour company, or food brand.
