About

Who We Are

The Namanya Memorial Community Library was founded in memory of Hilary and Barbra Namanya, two educators who believed in the power of learning.

Located in Nansana, Wakiso Uganda, our library provides free access to books, technology, and educational programs for children, schools, families and Non-Profits across the Country

What We Do

Our library provides a safe, welcoming space where children, students, and adults can explore a wide range of educational and recreational materials. By offering access to books, we empower individuals to dream, learn, and grow, building a brighter future for the entire community.

What Drives US

Every smile we see, every story we hear, and every life we touch reminds us why we do what we do. Because when we open a book, we open a world of possibilities.

Mission

We aspire to develop a literate, informed, engaged and connected community through free access of quality information.

Vision

To enrich lives and our community through universal access to knowledge, lifelong learning and literacy.

Core Values

  • Integrity
  • Community Development
  • Literacy
  • Innovation
  • Legacy

Why Namanya Memorial Community Library?

Unlike many schools in Uganda, we have a wide variety of books on Uganda’s Education Syllabus allowing students to catch up with their class work, do their school research, and read ahead with free access to all our books and resources.

Our services are designed to meet the specific needs of our community, ensuring no one is left behind.

Our People

At the heart of the Namanya Memorial Community Library (NMCL) is a passionate and dedicated team committed to fostering literacy and empowering communities through education. Our team believes that every book opened is a door to a new world, and together, we work tirelessly to ensure that these doors remain open for everyone in our community.
