Uzima Publishing House a History

Need for Christian Literature

The need for Christian Literature is a Publishing Houseing need 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 Publishing House 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.

The Current Situation

Uzima Publishing House is a publisher and distributor of Christian Literature. The offices are situated at lmani House in Nairobi. Kenya and located in the central business district, hence easily accessible to customers.

The company is headed by a Board of Directors and assisted by the General Manager who is the chief executive of the company together with a Management Team consisting of an Editor. Sales and Marketing Officer, Finance Officer and Personal Assistant to the General Manager.

Since it’s inception, over 200 titles have been published of which worship books have made the greatest impact. Many of these titles are reprinted annually due to high demand.

Authorship

The Publishing House attracts many writers who submit over 30 unsolicited manuscripts annually while the company seeks to develop her own authors through Writer-Training Workshops

Product Lines

The present product lines comprise Worship Books, Bible Study Guides, Family Life. Social Life. Text Books, Christian Education. Autobiographies/Biographies and Children’s Story books.
