The Windle Trust Founder

HUGH WINDLE PILKINGTON

Background

In 1977, Hugh Austin Windle Pilkington set up the Windle Charitable Trust in Kenya Mainly to support needy Kenya students but also to assist refugees in Kenya and elsewhere, including British universities. Hugh believed that good education was essential if Africa was to meet the challenges it faced. Before his death in 1986, Hugh 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 Huge Pilkington Charitable Trust was established in the UK.

The Hugh Pilkington Chariatble Trust (HPCT) and the Windle Charitable Trust continued to pursue and develop Hugh Pilkington’s Vision. HPCT funded the establishment of Windle Trust Offices in Uganda in 1997, Ethiopia and Sudan.
