Agnes is a courageous, ambitious and determined Rwandan young lady who completed her Bachelor Degree in Business Administration at Rwanda Tourism University College. Agnes has worked with ASL Rwanda EPZ, Cash Express, evolving a passion for business that led her to open a microfranchise in July 2016 in the Nyamirambo area. From childhood, her dream has been to own an outstanding and rewarding business in order to fly with her own wings. Within one year she was selected for a full Jibu franchise at Kimihurura, where she is known for granting pure water at an affordable price to everyone in her neighborhood.
