Africa Herald Publishing House was set up in its present location as Kavirondo Press in 1914. ...
A. A. Carscallen returned from furlough in late 1913 bringing with him a small platen press and a few pounds of type. Missionary L. E. A. Lane, from England who had come to East Africa in 1912, having had done some printing before, helped train the first 3 Africans on how to set the type and they began by printing a Luo (language) spelling and grammar guide which had been prepared by Carscallen. They also published a small monthly paper “Jaote Luo” (The Luo Messenger).
In 1930 the name was changed to The Advent Press. In 1925 a second hand power press as well as a Davis typesetter were installed. The press was a beneficiary of the 1937 World Missions Extensions Offering. In 1956 the Press was reorganized and the name changed to the East African Publishing House. The present structure was completed in 1961 and the name changed to its present name, Africa Herald Publishing House in 1965.
