About Wakanaka Consulting

An African Branding and Digital HR consultancy, assisting companies to launch in the United Arab Emirates and helping people and organisations show up with clarity, confidence, and purpose in Zambia and the world.

Who We Are

Wakanaka Business Solutions is a Zambian-based social enterprise born from a vision where confidence, structure, and beauty open doors for those ready to lead change. Founded by Tryphena Nkana Mwelwa, Wakanaka—meaning "You Are Beautiful" in Shona—was shaped by a personal journey of overcoming trauma and joblessness to build a life of strategic impact. We believe that beauty is not just visual; it is empowerment.

As a social enterprise, 10% of all our proceeds fuel the Healing Hope Foundation, providing training in digital literacy and entrepreneurship for survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

We aren't just building businesses; we are building lives beautifully! 

The Wakanaka Growth Ecosystem

Wakanaka is built as a growth ecosystem, not a one-off service. Everything we do flows through three pillars that work together: Identity, Expansion, and Impact.
