Uganda instituted Universal Primary Education in 1997, and is currently instituting Universal Secondary Education. However, this process continues to face funding problems and schools are currently under-financed, and under-resourced. YouLead UBC has been working with the Kitengesa Secondary School and has helped developed the Community Library which is now in need of additional resources. ALF has assisted with funds to expand the existing library building. To make sure that it has adequate electric power, UBC YouLead has already raised the money for solar electricity in the library. The ultimate goal of this new extension is to implement a web-based library containing some 2 million texts, and comes on a hard disk called eGranary, developed by a group called Widernet (http://www.widernet.org/digitalLibrary/index.htm), which is supported by the University of Iowa.
