After Education Permanent Secretary Lillian Kapulu and other officials visited the Fountain of Hope Lubuto Library and saw its impact, Zambia’s Ministry of Education wanted more of these libraries to strengthen literacy, improve the quality of education and especially to reach out-of-school children. PS Kapulu particularly liked the design of the buildings, remarking on her first visit that they felt "so homey." Lubuto and the Ministry together looked at Lusaka's Garden neighborhood as a logical site for a second library as the densely populated community had so many children in need. The Ministry authorized Lubuto to build their next library on grounds they own in Garden, adjacent to the Ngwerere Basic School, understanding that it is a public library open to all.

Prior to identifying the library site, Dow Jones & Co. Executive Vice President Clare Hart, who serves on Lubuto's Advisory Board, informed Jane Meyers that Dow Jones wanted to support the construction of the second Lubuto library. With this pledge of financial support, Lubuto's relationship with the Ministry of Education was solidified in a Memorandum of Understanding and construction of the Ngwerere Library commenced. Thus, Dow Jones' investment in Zambia's children extended far beyond this single library to inspiring the spread of Lubuto libraries nationwide.
