SUPKEM Heritage
Since 1973: Over 50 Years of Impact

The Voice of
Cohesion

"The umbrella body of all Muslim organizations, societies, Mosque committees and groups in Kenya."

Our Origin Story

The Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM) was established in 1973 during a landmark General Conference held at Qur’an House on Mfangano Street in Nairobi.

It was born out of a collective need to unify and coordinate the efforts of Kenya’s diverse Muslim organizations, mosques, societies and community groups under one umbrella body. At a time when the Muslim community faced marginalization and lacked a structured platform for representation, SUPKEM emerged and continues to act as a voice of leadership, advocacy, and social development.
