ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WINDLE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL

Charity Overview

Charity Commission Registration No: 1153544; Date of registration: 27[th] August 2013

Our Vision We believe that:

E ducation Transforms Society

We believe that the people who have been affected by conflict and marginalisation should be the architects of their own future. We focus on and advocate for the long-term investment in education and training for and with individuals and communities, so that they can transform themselves, and their surrounding communities, region and continent. As and when peace is achieved, individuals and communities are equipped to sustain it for the long term. Our Vision

Is of a world where everyone has the opportunity, through education and training, to make the most of their potential and contribute to sustainable development.

Charitable Objects To advance education, in particular the education of refugees, internally displaced people, other people affected by or at risk from conflict and natural disaster and their host populations.

Our Mission To challenge poverty and inequality, to bring about lasting transformation of society, and to promote peace by expanding access to, and improving the quality of, education and training, with an emphasis on refugees, and communities affected by conflict and marginalization.

The international office has two main roles: a) to establish Windle as the leading organisation for delivery of quality education for refugees and communities affected by conflict and marginalization jn Eastern Africa;

b) To provide accurate, timely and efficient services to the membership of Windle and to serve and coordinate global activities such as communication, advocacy, fundraising, common operational standards, and shared services.

Structure and Governance

Windle International (the Charity) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered in England as charity number 1153544, governed by a charitable constitution under the terms of which the members of the International Council, who are the Trustees of the Charity, include the Chairs of the operational Windle organisations listed below:

Windle Trust International operating in the UK, Sudan and South Sudan Windle International Kenya operating in Kenya and managing the Somalia programme

Windle International Uganda operating in Uganda

Windle International USA and Windle International Netherlands are support offices whose function is to facilitate fundraising and advocacy in USA and Europe for the work of Windle in Eastern Africa, in close collaboration with the International Office.

Each of the constituent members has its own Board of Trustees and operates autonomously within a framework of common values, history and strategic focus. Windle International provides the coordination structure to realise the commitment made by all members of the Windle family to work closely together in setting their strategies, and collaborating on key area such as a common high-level policy framework of standards, donor relations, advocacy, fundraising, regional programming, research and sharing of skills and experience.

Under the constitution of Windle International the Trustees may appoint additional trustees to the Board of Trustees.

Eleanor Horne, who is the Chair of The Hugh Pilkington Charitable Trust, which has provided substantial financial support to Windle’s work for many years, serves as a member of the International Council. Eleanor Horne is also a Trustee of Windle Trust International one of the constituent members of Windle International. Lillian Koma was appointed as a member of the International Council in September 2020.

These financial statements relate to the activities of the Windle International Council and the International Secretariat and, in line with UK Charity law, have been examined by a qualified Independent Examiner, Holy Brook Associates.

Public Benefit

The Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The Trustees believe that the activities of the Charity address the underlying causes of poverty, fall within the aims of the Charity, and that the member charities of Windle International deliver programmes widely accessible to potential beneficiaries which fall within the scope of the Charity's objects.

The public benefit relates mainly to the promotion of educational access for some of the world’s most disadvantaged communities. The education and training in turn help to lay the foundation for long term peace in Africa.

4

Details of the activities of member organisations, their impact and their performance are reflected in the accounts of those organisations. The impact of the Charity is primarily achieved not by implementation of programmes but by supporting operational Windles to implement programmes addressing the objects of the Charity.

Context

The Windle programme activities which the Charity supports cover a region which continues to experience conflict and displacement of individuals and communities for a range of reasons including poor government, corruption, political rivalry and greed, environmental pressures and ethnic tensions. These deep-seated challenges will not be resolved quickly but there have been some positive signs in the past 2 years.

The Government of South Sudan has extended the planned implementation period for the peace agreement because elements of the peace agreement have yet to be implemented effectively. The country is still struggling to build a durable peace. We expect that many South Sudanese refugees will be cautious about returning immediately to South Sudan in the light of the failure of past peace agreements. For this reason, Windle operational members expect to continue to manage and deliver education to large numbers of South Sudanese refugees in Kenya and Uganda, and displaced South Sudanese in Sudan, while also working with the government of South Sudan and other partners to build the education sector inside South Sudan.

In Somalia extremist groups and clan rivalry continue to hamper a robust peace and an economic recovery. Windle has followed home some of the Somali refugees whom Windle has been serving in Kenya for many years by setting up offices in Federal Republic Somalia in 2019, Somaliland in 2020 and in Puntland State of Somalia in 2021. Windle International has established a scholarship programme

5

with a total of 175 students in 20 universities in the three locations. This is the DAFI (Albert Einstein German Academic Refugee Initiative) scholarship funded through UNHCR.

The governments of Kenya and Uganda have been seeking ways to reduce the number of refugees in their countries. This development provides challenges to Windle but also provides an opportunity for Windle to support voluntary return, through Windle’s regional presence, particularly in Somalia and South Sudan.

The Kenya 2021 Refugee Act has strengthened the protection and management of the refugees in Kenya. The Act gives new hope to refugees in Kenya that they can access livelihoods and social integration. The Act came into effect in March 2022.

In the light of the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic investment in education and training is more important than ever in order to lay the foundations for lasting peace and stability. The virus has disrupted education across the world but Windle is working energetically with IGAD, governments, communities and other partners and institutions to enable quality education to continue and expand. The greater use of educational technology to support the quality of education and training is a key focus for Windle. Windle International is also working with WI-USA to mobilise support for EdTech from USA.

The constituent members of Windle International pursue a shared strategy in responding to this situation with a focus on education and training and on the geographic region of Eastern Africa. This investment is crucial to the prospects for lasting peace and stability across Eastern Africa. It is the policy of Windle to establish a robust long-term presence in each country where it operates.

Management

The Charity operates primarily from an office in CMS House in Oxford but since the impact of COVID-19 staff have worked mainly from home. The Chief Executive Officer of Windle International is based in Kenya and is supported by the Senior Management Coordination Group comprising the executive directors of the operational members of the Windle family. The senior team meets regularly to take forward activities which are the responsibility of the Charity or which require coordination and collaboration across Windle.

The Chief Executive Officer reports to the International Council both directly and through the Chair of the Council. The Chief Executive Officer also manages the relationship with the Hugh Pilkington Charitable Trust.

The Trustees record their deep regret at the death of James Aryam in June 2021 from COVID. James was the Executive Director of Windle International Uganda and has been a remarkable servant of Windle and refugees over many years.

6

Risk Management

The Trustees undertake a review of risk at least annually and take steps to mitigate risk while recognising that operating in parts of Africa affected by conflict involves exposure to a certain degree of risk for the Charity and its staff. Risks are identified and measured using a standard matrix and responsibility for monitoring each area of risk is allocated to a particular staff member. A key role of the International Office is to support the operating Trusts in managing risk.

Activities and Achievements

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected the work of Windle International’s operational members in a variety of ways in 2020 and 2021. Education provision has been disrupted and Windle has worked with partners to provide education in a secure manner. One positive outcome of these challenges has been an increased emphasis on the use of information technology in education, an area where Windle has already considerable experience. This is major focus in future plans.

Building on a review of the global strategy in early 2019 and in spite of the severe restriction on travel and face to face meetings caused by the pandemic, the main achievements of the Charity in the period covered by this report have been:

7

The Charity sets operational targets by the development of annual work plans and budgets and monitors performance against these targets to ensure that resources are applied effectively to achieving the Windle International objectives.

Financial Review

In 2021 the Charity incurred a deficit on general funds of £74,285 (2020 £15,197). The core donor supporting WI, the Hugh Pilkington Charitable Trust, made an exceptional advance of £80,000 which is shown in the accounts as a transfer to reserves. The consequence of this advance is that further HPCT grant support to the whole of the Windle network will be reduced by £10,000 per year for the next eight years compared with what it otherwise would have been. The net effect is an unrestricted reserve fund at the end of 2021 of £36,049.

The Charity holds a modest level of reserves of £36,049 as shown in the Balance Sheet which is lower than the target of £50,000 set in previous Trustees Reports. The Trustees of the Charity are aiming to increase the level of reserves to £60,000 over the next two years to provide a greater level of working capital for the Charity. This is in line with Charity Commission recommendations.

Future Plans

The Trustees are undertaking a major review of staffing and structure in 2022 and the outcome of this review will provide a framework for future plans.

The operational capacity to manage the growing Windle programme in Somalia is provided by Windle International Kenya and the team leader, Khalif Kobane, will continue to develop the profile and activity of Windle in Somalia. Further funds are being sought to expand Windle’s work in Somalia, and Windle is developing very positive relationships with government and with potential operating partners. Windle International has facilitated WISOM discussions with CARE International Somalia, Adventist Development and Relief Agency International ( ADRA) Somalia to collaborate in joint fundraising and implementation of programmes. This will strengthen Windle’s presence in Somalia.

The Trustees completed the process of registering in Rwanda in 2019 and it is planned to start a modest level of activities in Rwanda in 2023. The operations in Rwanda will be implemented under the management of the Windle offices in Kenya and Uganda.

Windle International will continue to look for opportunities to strengthen Windle’s regional presence across Eastern Africa. As in the above cases the initial management role in new countries will be undertaken by the operational Windle International members until such time as the new offices are ready to operate autonomously with their own trustee boards.

8

The Trustees will continue to support the development of Windle International USA and Windle International Netherlands as fundraising initiatives. The US and Netherlands Boards meet quarterly to pursue fundraising opportunities.

Strategically Windle International expects to retain its very strong focus on the provision of education and training supported by research to assess needs and to monitor and evaluate impact. Windle will also advocate for investment in quality education and training, and seek to contribute to international forums in these areas. Windle is committed to innovation and improvement and will continue to innovate in education technology and the provision of teacher training amongst other areas.

Partners

Windle International is very grateful to the trustees of the Hugh Pilkington Charitable Trust for their continued support of Windle and to the following operational and funding partners with whom Windle International and its Members have worked in 2021, as well as to the alumni and other individual supporters:

US Bureau for Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) UKAID: Department for International Development The European Union The Government of Canada (Global Affairs Canada) The UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) The Hugh Pilkington Charitable Trust World University Service of Canada The Open Society Foundation The MasterCard Foundation The Philanthropic Initiative (Sisters of St Joseph of Peace) The British Council Commonwealth Scholarships Programme/Association of Commonwealth Universities The Waterloo Foundation The Gordon Memorial College Trust Fund Borderless Higher Education Programme: York University, University of British Columbia, Kenyatta University, Moi University and others HU University, Utrecht DD Puri Foundation The Vodafone Foundation DAFI/Government of Germany Goodenough College

Most of this financial support is received directly by operational Windle International members rather than through the Windle International Secretariat.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations governing charities registered in England, and to observe and apply the principles and methods of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP).

The Trustees have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:

~ prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of Windle International

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2021, which are set out on pages 12 to 18.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Chartered Institute of Management Accounts. It is my responsibility to:

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,:

• the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Year Ended 31st December 2021 Notes to the Accounts

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of the Accounts

The Accounts are prepared in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective 1 January 2015. – Charities SORP FRS 102.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

Going Concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

Donations of Gifts, Services and Facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised.

On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Interest Receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Fund Accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for charitable purposes.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

13

Tangible Fixed Assets

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.

Where fixed assets have been revalued, any excess between the revalued amount and the historic cost of the asset will be shown as a revaluation reserve in the balance sheet.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at Bank and in Hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Creditors

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Pension Contributions

In the UK the charity contributes to a defined contribution scheme (NEST) at the rate of 5% with employees contributing 3%. For employees based outside the UK the charity negotiates and agreed contribution to pension provision in each case in the light of local circumstances and legislation.
