History

Fountain Publishers was started in 1988 by James R Tumusiime and his wife. Its first offices were on top of the former City Bar. Fountain employed only four individuals, with just a typewriter and four desks. Their maiden publication was ''Who is Who in Uganda'', a miniature directory of politicians, religious men and academicians. Their second publication was ''Uganda 30 Years'' (1992), a thirty-year-old nation birthday book.
