GRAPHIC DESIGNER - COMPILATION OF PROGRAMMES BROCHURE

Organization Background

Windle Trust Kenya was set up in 1977 by Dr. Hugh Austin Windle Pilkington mainly to support needy Kenyan students but also to assist refugees in Kenya. In addition, inspired by his contact with refugees stranded in Kenya, Hugh Pilkington personally assisted refugees to study in Kenya and elsewhere, including British universities. Hugh believed that good education was essential if Africa was to meet the challenges it faced. In 1986 Hugh was tragically killed in a car accident in Canada. Before his death he had made arrangements for his personal estate to be used to set up a foundation to promote the education of refugees and in 1988 the Hugh Pilkington Charitable Trust was established in the UK.

The Hugh Pilkington Charitable Trust (HPCT) and Windle Trust Kenya have continued to pursue and develop Hugh Pilkington's vision. Over the years HPCT has established Windle Trust Uganda. In 2002 HPCT transferred its operations to Windle Trust International (WTI).

The Windle Trust International Federation family comprises: 1. Windle Trust Kenya: based in Nairobi, Kakuma Refugee Camp and Dadaab Refugee Camp 2. Windle Trust Uganda: based in Kampala and in Gulu, Northern Uganda 3. Windle Trust International: main offices in Oxford, UK: Sudan and Southern Sudan Programmes Summary
