Classrooms, dormitories, and student learning time
Pilgrim Africa’s public Pilgrim Protect page includes a testimony from a student leader and S6 candidate at Beacon of Hope. Before spraying, malaria was described as a persistent issue that made students miss learning time and struggle to keep up.
After Pilgrim Protect sprayed classrooms and dormitories, the student leader described a significant reduction in malaria cases among students. The testimony connects the program directly to attendance, focus, extracurricular participation, and student leadership.
For the donor site, this is the kind of story that matters most: malaria prevention is not only a health intervention. It protects the daily conditions that allow students to stay in class and build confidence in their school community.
