The Sharia Compliance & Halal Business Expo 2025, held on April 28th and 29th at the Sarit Expo Centre in Nairobi, brought together leading organizations dedicated to promoting ethical, value-driven enterprise. Among the notable sponsors of this dynamic two-day event was Umma Insurance Brokers, a regional intermediary firm that continues to reshape the face of insurance and risk management in Africa through innovation rooted in Sharia principles.
Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, with a growing footprint that includes a subsidiary in Mogadishu, Somalia, Umma Insurance Brokers has established itself as a key player in the regional insurance sector. The firm offers a comprehensive suite of services—including risk transfer, advisory, and managed insurance solutions—designed to meet the evolving needs of businesses and individuals across East Africa. What sets Umma apart is its unwavering focus on providing intelligent, ethically sound insurance products that align with Islamic values.
Their sponsorship at the Sharia Compliance & Halal Business Expo 2025 was more than just a branding opportunity—it was a clear reflection of their mission: to innovate the risk management and insurance intermediation market in Africa through targeted product design, smart service delivery, and accessible distribution channels.
At the expo, Umma Insurance engaged with hundreds of entrepreneurs, investors, and faith-conscious consumers who are increasingly seeking financial products that adhere to Sharia principles. Their booth stood out for its focus on transparency, ethical conduct, and inclusive coverage models, particularly in a landscape where traditional insurance methods may not always align with religious beliefs.
As one of the key exhibitors, Umma Insurance took the opportunity to educate attendees on Takaful, the Sharia-compliant alternative to conventional insurance. Through insightful presentations and one-on-one interactions, their team emphasized how Takaful policies foster community support and shared responsibility—foundational values in both Islamic finance and Umma’s corporate ethos.
The firm’s leadership, made up of seasoned professionals with deep roots in insurance and financial services, was present to share their vision for the future of ethical insurance in Africa. Their strategic objective is clear: to bridge the gap between conventional insurance systems and the underserved market of Muslim and ethically conscious clients who are often left with few options in the traditional financial sector.
Umma’s sponsorship and participation in the expo also highlighted a broader conversation taking place across the continent—the rise of faith-based financial solutions that are both sustainable and inclusive. As the demand for Halal products and services grows globally, companies like Umma Insurance Brokers are perfectly positioned to lead the charge in offering solutions that don’t just protect assets, but also uphold moral and religious standards.
The Sharia Compliance & Halal Business Expo 2025 served as a powerful platform to reinforce the need for integrity-driven partnerships between businesses, regulators, and service providers. Umma Insurance Brokers, through its presence and support, contributed meaningfully to that dialogue, showcasing how insurance—when done right—can be a tool for empowerment and stability within Muslim communities and beyond.
In conclusion, Umma Insurance Brokers’ role as a sponsor at the Sharia Compliance & Halal Business Expo 2025 not only elevated their brand presence but also reaffirmed their commitment to transforming the insurance sector in Africa. With a strong foundation, visionary leadership, and a clear purpose, Umma continues to pioneer ethical insurance solutions that meet the needs of today’s market—without compromising on the principles that matter most.
