History

Fountain Publishers was started in 1988 by James Tumusiime and his wife.[3] 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.[4]
