Born in Mombasa

In 1923, Alarakhia Aloo inherited 188 acres of fertile wild land in Mtomondoni, Mtwapa in Kenya from his father, which later became known as Aloo Farms. The dense tropical coastal land was filled with wild deer, warthogs, snakes and buffalos. Aloo Farms is located just off the Indian Ocean and few miles away from Mombasa.

Alarakhia Aloo began to develop the land in the early 1950’s and quickly transformed the land to be sustainable farming land that contributed back to community of villages that lived there.

He was the first to pave the major roads in the town of Mtwapa and bring electricity into the villages providing light and electricity to thousands.
