Pilgrim Africa is rewriting the malaria playbook. Instead of chasing big-donor priorities, we create programs that African communities and governments own and pay for themselves. We began by spraying hundreds of schools in the hardest-hit districts. The impact was immediate. Now schools share the cost—because preventing malaria is far cheaper than treating it—and we help them market their “Pilgrim Protect” status to parents, turning health into a real enrollment advantage. We’re building a self-sustaining ecosystem: local training, bulk chemical procurement, government oversight, and live data systems that will keep expanding long after donor funding ends. We’re looking for passionate storytellers to capture this journey, amplify the voices of the schools and communities driving change, and invite the world to witness Africa solving one of its biggest problems on its own terms.
