National Council of Churches of Kenya

The brand name Jumuia is as Kiswahili word that means community or federation. It is used to remind us that the National Council of Churches of Kenya (Jumuia Ya Makanisa Ya Kenya) is an ecumenical body, a family of member churches and organisations.

In its Business Plan of 2001 - 2004, the Council adopted Jumuia Resorts as a brand name for its resorts across the country. This was part of the strategy to have all the resorts upgraded to the current business trends.
