Welcome to Windle Trust Uganda

Windle Trust Uganda is a member of Windle International, dedicated to increasing access to and improving the quality of education of refugees and conflict affected persons. Reflecting our values we work across the breadth of the education sector from ECD, primary schools to the tertiary levels. Our commitment is to work with communities in all their diversity – girls and boys, refugees and citizens, teachers and school management committees. We have a specific focus on increasing access to education for conflict-affected communities seeking to reach children and young people who have been forced to flee or who have been denied education because of the chronic marginalization that so often accompanies conflict. Our ability to work in insecure and unpredictable areas is one of our distinctive features and strength. We are flexible in the way we work and have a breadth of talent to draw on. Where it is the most appropriate option, we are able to work at community level to make sure that projects are on track. At other times, we will operate at a policy level, seeking to shape the broader context or drawing attention to issues that we think are important, but too often neglected. Whatever the project, we will implement it to the best of our ability and over time, hundreds and thousand have benefited from our projects across Uganda. WTU operates in South West (Nakivale, Oruchinga, Kyaka II and Rwamwanja), Mid-West (Kiryandongo and Kyangwali) Northern Uganda/West Nile (Adjumani, Palorinya, Lamwo, Rhino Camp, Imvepi and Bidibidi) and with head offices located in Kampala. With presences in Kenya, Sudan, South Sudan and the UK, we combine local knowledge and expertise with international contacts and a global perspective. This is especially important in our scholarships programme, where we work in partnership with some of the UK’s outstanding universities to provide opportunities for access to world-class teaching institutions.
