The Cost Story Behind Sustainable Follow-Up
Pilgrim Africa frames long-term malaria prevention as something schools can budget for when they can see the health and financial case clearly.
“$100 can protect 33 to 50 students for a year; $2,000 can protect an entire school of 650 to 1,000 students.”

Prevention cost, school budgets, and direct implementation
Pilgrim Africa’s public materials explain that spraying costs vary by school, including how many students sleep per room and the size of dorm rooms. The range is about $1 to $2 per student, with an additional one-time education element of about $1 per student.
The page also says Pilgrim Africa board members subsidize program overhead so donations go directly to program implementation in schools. That is important donor-facing context and should be visible wherever this site asks for support.
The sustainability goal is not simply to spray once. Participating schools are invited to compare prevention costs with illness costs and consider budgeting consistently for malaria prevention over time.
