History of the Visa Oshwal Community - Thika, Kenya
At the beginning of the last century, Oshwals as young as 10-15 years started migrating from Gujarat, India to Kenya, the first stepping stone to the Dark Continent. They arrived in dhows with meagre funds, but with dreams of uplifting their livelihoods which over time became a reality. Thika was a main centre after embarking at Mombasa. It is believed from the information gathered that Shah Meghji Ladha and Meghji Kanji were the first Oshwals to have come to Thika in around 1910. READ MORE: www.thikaoshwals.org
