Nairobi business mogul and politician Agnes Kagure has reiterated her commitment to empowering young women, urging society to provide them with the necessary tools to succeed.
“Give a young woman the tools to succeed, and she will build a nation,” Kagure posted on Facebook, emphasizing the role of women in economic growth and leadership.
As one of Nairobi’s influential figures, Kagure has been vocal about breaking barriers that hinder women from excelling in business and politics.

She believes that by creating opportunities and eliminating systemic challenges, young women can drive prosperity and innovation.
Her remarks come at a time when gender equality in leadership remains a key issue in Kenya.
Despite progress, many women still face hurdles in accessing economic and political platforms.
Kagure, however, remains optimistic, calling for collective efforts to open more doors for women.
“Join me, and together, let’s break barriers and open doors to prosperous days ahead,” she urged.

Her influence in both politics and business continues to inspire a new generation of female leaders.
Her message aligns with global efforts to bridge gender disparities, particularly in Africa, where women’s economic contributions are often undervalued.
She believes that investing in young women will lead to sustainable development and a stronger society.
