Nairobi, Kenya \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Launch Event Draws Industry Titans<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Many attendees hailed the app as \u201cthe future of construction sourcing,\u201d<\/em> highlighting its potential to simplify Kenya\u2019s complex building materials market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Currently, the app is available within the Nairobi Metropolitan Area<\/strong>, with plans to expand across all 47 counties<\/strong> soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    A Milestone in Kenya\u2019s Digital Construction Revolution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Jumba App represents a major leap forward in digitizing the construction supply chain. With smartphone usage growing rapidly, the app provides an intuitive, on-the-go solution for modern builders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Key Benefits:<\/strong>

    \u201cThe Jumba App is more than a tool \u2014 it\u2019s a movement to revolutionize construction supply across Africa,\u201d added Wamunyu.
    \u201cWe\u2019re making it possible for anyone building, big or small, to access the right materials at the right price, delivered at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    About Jumba<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Founded in 2022<\/strong>, Jumba<\/strong> started as a B2B marketplace<\/strong> for structural materials and has since evolved into a comprehensive B2C platform<\/strong> serving home builders, developers, and contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The company is built on a powerful insight \u2014 90% of African homes are built, not bought<\/strong> \u2014 yet the supply chain remains fragmented and opaque. Jumba\u2019s platform bridges this gap through transparency, trust, and digital efficiency<\/strong>, connecting verified suppliers directly with buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Under the leadership of Kagure Wamunyu<\/strong>, a former Uber Country Manager for Kenya<\/strong>, Jumba combines expertise in logistics, technology, and platform scaling to transform Africa\u2019s construction sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    The Vision Ahead<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    As Jumba scales across Kenya and beyond, its mission remains clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    To create a smarter, simpler, and more transparent way to build \u2014 for everyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
