At Namanya Memorial Community Library, we believe in the power of collaboration. That’s why we partner with schools in Nansana and across Uganda to provide reading resources and educational support for their students. We also welcome school trips to the library, where students can explore our collection, participate in guided activities, and discover the joy of reading in a vibrant, welcoming space.
Our library is fully stocked with thousands of books, resources, and programs designed to inspire and educate the children of Nansana and beyond. From picture books to STEM resources, we’ve got everything to spark curiosity and creativity in young minds.
At Namanya Memorial Community Library,, we’re pedaling toward a brighter future with Literacy on Wheels, our mobile library initiative that brings books, storytelling, and the joy of reading directly to the Nansana community. With bicycles and boxes full of books, we deliver reading sessions to children and families in Nansana and all around Uganda, spread awareness about the importance of literacy, and connect communities through the power of books. Join us in building a culture of reading.
At Namanya Memorial Community Library, we’re bridging the digital divide with our Computer Literacy Program. Equipped with multiple computers and a reliable internet connection, we offer free computer lessons for children and provide a valuable resource for students to conduct research and complete school projects. We aim to empower the Nansana community with the digital skills needed to thrive, ensuring every child has access to the tools and knowledge for success.
We believe in the power of books to transform lives. Every page turned is a step toward a brighter future, and every visit is a chance to learn, grow, and connect. Welcome to a space where turning pages changes lives.
At the heart of Nansana, the Namanya Memorial Community Library is a vibrant space where learning comes to life. Every day, children, families, and students walk through our doors to explore books, attend programs, and discover new opportunities. From the laughter of kids during storytime to the focused faces of students researching for school projects, our library is a place where curiosity thrives and dreams begin.
In June 2020, we lost Hilary and Barbra Namanya in a tragic accident and something had to be don in honor of their memory. Guided by their love for Education and because they were more than educators—they were mentors who believed in every child’s right to learn.
The Namanya Memorial Community Library was built to honor their legacy. It’s a place where children and families find books, technology, and programs that inspire learning and growth.
Every book, every smile, and every success story here keeps their spirit alive.
Since opening, the library has helped students of all ages improve their grades through after-school studies and access to learning materials. With the help of our dedicated volunteers, young children are learning to read and write above their grade level. For parents in the community, seeing their children succeed brings joy and hope for a brighter future.
From the child who discovers their first story to the teenager who aces an exam, every success story inspires us to keep going.
Together, we’re building a community where every child has the tools to dream big and succeed.
