SUMMARY:Kokni Muslim Association\, Nairobi\, Kenya. Centenary celebrations 2025
DESCRIPTION:Assalaamu alaikum. \nKokni Muslim Association ( KMA)\, Nairobi\, Kenya will be 100 years old in 2025. So KMA will be celebrating this Centenary occasion in August 2025 and invites its diaspora from around the world to join it in this special occasion. \nA brief history of KMA is that the dozen or so Kokni Muslims\, who had moved from the Kokan region in India to Nairobi around the First World War\, formed a body in 1925 and named it Kokani Muslim Jamaat. One of the very limited objectives of the Jamaat was to maintain a small library comprising mainly Urdu books. The library\, housed in a rented room\, was believed to be the first of its kind in East Africa. In 1936\, the Jamaat was renamed as the Kokani Muslim Community and Free Library. The Kokani Muslim Community and Free Library changed its name to “Kokni Muslim Association” in 1964. \nThere was an exodus of Koknis from Kenya after it gained independence mainly to United Kingdom\, Australia and some emigrated to America. \nTo mark the Centenary event\, the KMA Secretariat led by Rafia Khan ( nee Samnakay)\, will be organising various events and is sending an open invite to all Koknis living outside of Kenya to join it to celebrate this special occasion. \nKMA 100 years celebrations Secretariat & Organising Committee. \nPre events journey towards grand 100 years celebrations August 2025\n\nUnveiling of 100 years celebrations logo – 26th May 2024\n100 years celebrations Committee meeting – 15th September 2024\nHalal Expo – 6th October 2024 – View Event Details\nCookie Baking Class – View Event Details\n\nView Gallery\nUpdates\nWe are excited to inform you that the Kokni Muslim Association (KMA) in Nairobi\, Kenya\, will be celebrating its 100th Anniversary in August 2025.
