Need for Christian Literature

The need for Christian Literature is as pressing now as it has always been. The Anglican Church of Kenya identified this need in 1974 and set up a company that would publish Christian literature, to assist in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Legal Framework

In the meeting of the Provincial Literature Board held in Nairobi in October, 1974, it was resolved that Uzima Press be incorporated as a company limited by guarantee. Uzima Publishing House was consequently registered in 1974 under the companies Act (Cap. 486) as Company Limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. So as to define its mission better Uzima Press changed its name to Uzima Publishing House on 3rd December 2004.
