WILMA is instrumental, both in finance and in technical support, in helping Gov. Ndegwa and a group of distinguished Kenyans to found the Kenya Leadership Institute (KLI). KLI starts operations with grants from major foundations.

Dunstan Wai's monograph, The Clash of African-Arab Civilizations and the Struggle for Self-Determination in South Sudan, serves as a platform for a movement for South Sudan's independence led by a group of respected South Sudanese leaders. They stage a series of summit meetings of the South Sudan diaspora in London, Switzerland, New York, and Nairobi, with WILMA's financial and technical support.

WILMA drafts a detailed plan to establish The Imatong Institute for education and leadership in Juba, South Sudan, to support the movement for South Sudan's independence. The Institute is established by key South Sudanese leaders with a presence in London and a website. The vision of the Imatong Institute receives enthusiastic backing but becomes moot after John Garang (military leader of the South's forces) joins the Khartoum government.
