INFORALL Uganda
Kampala
INFORALL was founded in 2004 by Andrew Bayunga, a degree graduate in Library and Information Sciences from Makerere University. Motivated by the conviction that ‘Information is not a luxury,’ Andrew decided that somebody needed to fill the void and provide space where people can read, learn, discuss ideas, and ultimately find creative ways to address the economic and social challenges Ugandans face on a daily basis. Based out of a small office and staffed by an enthusiastic group of volunteers and a growing library of books and other resources, INFORALL is a valuable partner in monitoring and assisting the progress of Under the Reading Tree projects in Uganda.
