I meet entrepreneurs at the start: a small shop, a big idea, and a list of things standing in the way. I see them again at graduation, and they are different people running different businesses, accessing loans they couldn't get before, opening second ventures, hiring their neighbours. That arc is why the @africamanager's 2025 Impact Report means so much to me. Shifting from #Rwanda to larger countries such as #Nigeria, #Kenya, #Ghana, I realised that although I was tackling different markets, the story remains the same. What stays with me isn't the scale; it's who's driving it! Women-led businesses outperformed the average across the board. I have watched that happen up close: a woman who started with one struggling business now runs two and is teaching other women how she did it. This is the part of the job I'm proudest of, not just opening doors for SMEs and MSMEs, but watching what they build once they're through them 👏 Read Full Report africanmanagers.com/2025-imp… Special shout-out to all my colleagues at @RwandaAMI
