Arya Pratinidhi Sabha of East Africa
An Arya Samaj was formed in Mombasa, the second largest city in Kenya, in 1904. Its activities mirrored those of the Samaj in Nairobi as it built a temple, established a Youth Wing, held weekly services, built a nursery and a school and formed an Aryan Club. In 1922, the Arya Pratinidhi Sabha of Eastern Africa was formed to coordinate the activities of all the Arya Samajs in East Africa and at present there are nineteen affiliated Arya Samajs.
