Umma University

Umma University is the first Islamic institution of higher education in Kenya, offering certificate, diploma, degree and postgraduate studies.

Umma University is the brainchild of Africa Muslim Agency (currently known as Direct Aid International), a non-governmental organization which was founded by a Kuwait medical doctor, Abdulrahman Al-Sumait.

On 18 October 2019, President Uhuru Kenyatta awarded charter to Umma University after the institution met the ministry of education requirements.

The university was also presented with the mace, logo, seal and two volumes of accreditation reports at a ceremony held in State House, Mombasa.
