For the thousands of refugees living at the Kakuma and Dadaab Refugee Camps in Kenya, education is a means of ensuring a brighter future. Since 1977, Windle Trust Kenya has supported refugees in obtaining education by providing specialized programs for students and teachers, as well as facilitating sponsorship opportunities; ensuring that even the most marginalized individuals have access to a high quality primary, secondary and tertiary education. Windle Trust also equips adults and youth with improved communicative language skills.

Windle Trust Kenya, is extremely proud of our graduates, and alumni. With refugee able to access secondary, education. Refugee girls empowered to achieve their academic dreams. Refugees empowered in English communicative skills. Over 50 refugee students every year depart for Canadian Universities through Windle Trust Kenya supported sponsorships, while others attain post-secondary degrees at Kenyan Universities.

“The Trust should invest in people – in their training, rather than in improving their immediate lot i.e.
I would rather that the Trust sponsored someone’s training than that it put food today into the mouths of the hungry, which is not an investment."

Dr. Hugh Pilkington - Founder WTKTK
