On 3 August 2026, our Co-founder and Director of Business Operations, Dr. Sule Ismail paid a courtesy visit to his longtime friend, Mr. James Otai, Co-founder and Director of Sustainability and Operations at ๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ (๐๐). Joining them was Dr. David Masua, Chief Executive Officer of ๐ช๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ ๐ง๐ฟ๐๐๐ ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น (๐ช๐ง๐).
While this was a meeting of professionals from three different organizations, its roots go back many years.
Dr. Ismail and Mr. Otai first met in the United Kingdom while pursuing postgraduate studies through scholarships made possible by Windle Trust International, the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission, and Bangor University. Their friendship, born through education, has endured and continues to create opportunities for collaboration and service.
It is a powerful reminder that scholarships do far more than produce graduates. They build leaders, lifelong relationships, and networks that continue to benefit communities years later.
Today, each of the three organizations represented around the table contributes to sustainable development in its own unique way.
๐ช๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ ๐ง๐ฟ๐๐๐ ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น has transformed countless lives by expanding access to quality education and strengthening education systems for communities affected by conflict and displacement across Eastern and the Horn of Africa, including South Sudan.
๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ is empowering young women and youth to become social entrepreneurs, creating sustainable livelihoods while addressing local challenges through innovation, entrepreneurship, and climate-smart solutions.
Juba Strategic Consulting (JSC) is committed to generating evidence, strengthening local capacity, and supporting governments and development partners with locally led research, policy analysis, programme evaluation, and data-driven solutions that improve health, livelihoods, resilience, and sustainable development.
As Windle Trust International continues its impactful work across South Sudan, Juba Strategic Consulting looks forward to opportunities to contribute its expertise where it can add value. We also welcome future collaboration with Imagine Her as together we pursue innovative, locally led solutions that contribute to rebuilding the South Sudan we all envision.
To Windle Trust International, thank you for demonstrating that investing in education is also an investment in leadership, partnerships, and the future of our societies.
To all our partners, clients, friends, and well-wishers, thank you for walking this journey with us. We look forward to building even stronger partnerships that deliver lasting impact for the people of South Sudan.
