Update on the Ham Mukasa Library
The construction of the new Library is complete, however, there are still a number of ways that you can help like
- Sending a donation to meet our “cost share” portion of the building costs
- Donating a laptop computer for the computer lab
- Contributing to the cost of the container on its way now across the ocean (in partnership with Truro
Church in Truro, Virginia) - Sending a special gift for the “Textbook Fund” to provide new resource materials
- Honoring a loved one with a major gift for a section of the Library (study rooms, courtyard, aca-
demic shelf and more)
Special thanks to Taylor University and Dan Bowell, University Librarian, for their generous donation of metal library shelves which Dan loaded on a truck, drove to northern Virginia and helped load on the container! And also to John Hutchins at Truro Church for his tireless efforts in receiving items, loading (with UCUP board members Murray Black and Jack Klenk), and getting the container on its way!
A Great University Deserves a Great Library!
The Ham Mukasa Library is the single most significant development project for Uganda Christian University.
Uganda is becoming one of the most successful countries on the continent of Africa for a variety of reasons-education being one of them. One of the greatest success stories has been the founding in 1997 of Uganda Christian University, 25 kilometres east of Kampala, in Mukono. The University has grown from 120 students to over 10,000 students (including our affiliated campuses) in the 2011/12 academic year.
