Our Origins
From the heart of
Busia to the world
The Makana family traces its roots to Marachi Central in Busia — a land of community, resilience, and pride. Since 1911, the family has grown from a single home into a network of lives spanning continents.
From Kenya across East Africa and onward to the United States, Qatar, the United Kingdom and beyond — Makana's carry their heritage wherever they go.
