Agnes Kagure recently shared a heartfelt message on social media, expressing her joy as a guardian whose sons and daughters have succeeded in their KCSE 2025 exams.
She wrote about how their hard work has paid off and how she feels proud of them. She also extended congratulations to all students in the KCSE 2025 class, wishing them better days ahead.
This simple yet warm post highlights her personal connection to education and the success of young people, something she has shown interest in for many years.
As a leader and entrepreneur, Agnes Kagure has always placed education at the center of her efforts to help others. Born into a family of eleven siblings in a poor background, she understands the struggles many face.
She moved to Nairobi at the age of 19 to escape poverty and build a better life. Her own journey started with schooling at Tetu Girls Primary School and then Kangubiri High School, where she gained the basics that helped her grow into a successful businesswoman.
Today, she runs the Agnes Kagure Foundation, which focuses on supporting education, especially for girls and youth from humble beginnings.
Through this foundation, she has provided bursaries to help students pay for school fees, making sure that money does not stop anyone from learning.
She believes education is the key to escaping poverty and opening doors to opportunities, no matter where someone comes from.
In her posts and actions, Agnes Kagure often talks about the need for better education systems in Kenya.
For example, she has called for free and quality education for every child, building on past efforts like those of former President Kibaki.

She agrees that the country can provide free basic services like education if loopholes in the system are fixed.
She has spoken out against holding back students’ certificates due to unpaid fees, suggesting ways to make bursaries easier to access and less tied to politics.
By combining all bursary funds into one central body that reaches down to wards and villages, she thinks more students can get help without delays or favoritism.
Her support goes beyond words. The foundation promotes menstrual health for girls, which helps them stay in school without missing classes.
She has shared stories of visiting schools to talk with students, giving advice and encouraging them to study hard.
In one instance, she recalled a deep conversation with schoolgirls during a menstrual health event, and she expressed a desire to follow up on their progress.
This shows her commitment to not just giving aid but also mentoring and checking in on those she helps.
She has also addressed school safety, like after fire incidents in schools, urging the government to improve policies, emergency training, and counseling to make schools safe places where children can discover their potential.
As the leader of the Kenya Patriots Party and someone aspiring to be the Governor of Nairobi County, Agnes Kagure represents the kind of leadership that Nairobians can benefit from.
Nairobi is a busy city with many challenges, including poverty, access to services, and opportunities for youth.
Her focus on education fits well with what the city needs leaders who prioritize young people and families.
She sees education as a way to build a stronger society, like laying a foundation for a building where every person’s effort counts.
Her recent celebration of the KCSE results is just one example of her ongoing work. She has wished success to KCSE candidates in past years too, reminding them that exams are not the end but a step toward bigger possibilities.
For girls, she emphasizes access to education and leadership roles, noting that a society that invests in women will do well.
On International Day of the Girl Child, she called for commitment to girls’ dreams and futures. Through her foundation’s ground teams, she continues to promote health and education, showing that even from humble starts, a bright future is possible.
In a time when many young people in Nairobi face barriers, leaders like Agnes Kagure offer practical solutions. She does not just talk about problems, she acts through her foundation and party to make changes. Her story from poverty to leadership inspires many, and her focus on education shows she understands what families need. Nairobians deserve leaders who listen, support learning, and work for safety and opportunities.
