Founded in 1988, Fountain Publishers is Uganda’s first indigenously owned publishing house, born out of a shared vision by scholars, educators, entrepreneurs, and young professionals committed to strengthening education and knowledge production in the country. At a time when Uganda relied heavily on imported books and photocopied learning materials, Fountain Publishers was established to create high-quality, locally relevant publications that respond to national and regional needs.

Over 36 years later, Fountain Publishers has grown into one of the leading publishing houses in East and Central Africa. Our diverse and expanding catalogue spans school textbooks, academic and scholarly works, general interest titles, fiction, tourism publications, children’s books, and local language materials. We are supported by a strong distribution network that serves regional and international markets.

Guided by a commitment to excellence and social responsibility, Fountain Publishers plays an active role in advancing literacy, preserving culture, and contributing to national development goals through education and publishing.
