The Library

Many members of the community have expressed their support for the Buhugu library, mentioning that it is one of the most important developments.

Negotiations are underway to secure a room to host the library. In the meantime, we have started purchasing textbooks. Using a list provided by the teachers of Masaba Secondary School, we have been scouring the bookshops in Kampala and have so far bought textbooks worth about UGS 700,000 (around $420).

i'm sure people would love to donate books from here also! if you ever want to start something, we could do a book drive and find a way to somehow get them over there... ;)

Thanks for the suggestion, Lalita. A book drive would be very helpful indeed.

Once the books are collected there are ways to get it to Uganda. So far, we have sent them with friends and strangers travelling to Uganda.

We would like the book drive to be focused. The most needed items are books for children that are not culture specific and study materials for secondary school students. Atlases/maps (updated) and dictionaries are also much needed.

Thanks much for the input Lalita!
