As Kenya faces the grim reality of gender-based violence (GBV) and femicide, the Agnes Kagure Foundation (AKFO) has emerged as a lifeline for women, leading with compassion and a commitment to change.

Through its tailored empowerment programs, AKFO aims to break cycles of violence by equipping women with the strength and skills to rebuild their lives and take a stand against abuse.

AKFO’s approach goes beyond immediate assistance, focusing instead on long-term empowerment.

“Femicide and GBV devastate families and rob our society of invaluable voices,” an AKFO representative said at a recent event.

“Our mission is to end these injustices and help women regain their sense of security, confidence, and dignity,” Agnes Kagure Foundation wrote on Facebook.

Through workshops on personal safety, financial independence, and legal rights, the foundation is offering women essential tools to not only survive but to thrive.

The foundation’s programs provide more than just skills—they foster resilience and restore hope.

For many women, participation in AKFO’s workshops marks the start of a journey from trauma to empowerment, where newfound confidence and self-worth take root.

Women who complete the programs often become advocates in their own communities, inspiring others to overcome challenges and demand justice.

“When one woman feels empowered, she empowers others, strengthening the fabric of her entire community,” shared AKFO staff.
