The Friends of Fort Jesus, formed in 1978 to stimulate interest in the Fort Jesus Museum and the cultural and natural history of the Kenya Coast, is involved with the conservation of Old Town Mombasa. Based in Mombasa, the Society organises evening programmes, field trips and other activities for people in the area. The Society supports Fort Jesus Museum by assisting in various research projects on coastal related subjects, by acting as a focal point for the collection of archival material and facilitating awareness of the area's rich historic and present day heritage. Monthly newsletters keep members informed of Society activities.
Membership includes free entrance to all museums and monuments in the Coast Province.
