Ceazeria Public Library, located in the village of Buikwe in Mukono District in Central Uganda, was started in 2000 by Mr Francis Kigobe, a local farmer who believes that he was unable to continue his education to tertiary level because the school he went to did not have a library. The National Library of Uganda has also supported this initiative by training staff and donating books. Close to 7,000 books make up of children’s books, books on vocational training and books for secondary schools are now available for the community to use.
ALF has now contributed further funds to assist the library in purchasing computers, TV, videos and accessories to provide computer training to children and secondary school students. In addition, there will be access to information from the National Agricultural Information Services (NAADS) and international sources through the National Library of Uganda in its efforts to improve agricultural practices in the country.
