These summaries keep the donor site aligned with Pilgrim Africa’s public explanation of the work rather than invented field reports.

Program voice“We no longer have to worry about falling ill and missing crucial lessons.”
Many rural schools carry a high malaria burden without enough budget for vector control. Pilgrim Africa lowers the barrier by offering a first term of spray and protection service.
Program voice“The first service opens the door for schools to compare the cost of prevention with the cost of illness.”
Pilgrim Protect focuses on primary and secondary schools with IRS, prevention education, malaria clubs, and youth champion activities.
Program voice“IRS is presented by Pilgrim Africa as the single most effective malaria prevention intervention in Uganda.”
Pilgrim Africa frames long-term malaria prevention as something schools can budget for when they can see the health and financial case clearly.
Program voice“$100 can protect 33 to 50 students for a year; $2,000 can protect an entire school of 650 to 1,000 students.”
