PORTLAND, Ore., April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaya Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: KAYS), the first U.S. Public company to own and operate a medical marijuana dispensary, announced today that FINRA has approved its new name and stock symbol, which more accurately reflect the company's operations.  The trading symbol, formerly AFAI, will now be KAYS. "The new name and symbol highlight our complete focus on becoming a group of compelling and successful marijuana product brands," stated Craig Frank, CEO.

KAYS plans to focus all its energies on expanding its legal marijuana operations, including its Kaya Shack™ brand of marijuana dispensaries. The Company's business plan calls for additional stores and the implementation of a vertically integrated production capability. Kaya Shack™ features more than 30 popular strains of marijuana, a wide selection of concentrates and oils, a variety of creams and lotions, and a broad assortment of infused cookies, candies and cakes.

"Our entry into the legal marijuana space has been careful and deliberate," states CEO Craig Frank. "Since we opened the flagship Kaya Shack Medical Marijuana Dispensary in Portland, Oregon approximately 9 months ago, we have developed the processes, procedures and requisite infrastructure to operate a multi-location marijuana enterprise, and begin to more actively assume a more visible profile."

"Over the next few weeks we will be releasing news and updates regarding our progress in areas including banking, branding and site development," continued CEO Craig Frank.
