In 2011, Pilgrim Africa received a 350 acre land grant to educate teachers and agribusiness entrepreneurs; Teso University will matriculate its first students in 2013.

Public Health
A Malaria-Free Uganda
Uganda has upwards of 100,000 malaria-related deaths each year. Pilgrim Africa, an implementing partner for Global Fund Round 10 funding for malaria control in 2012, is working in partnership with the Ugandan Ministry of Health on a national scale-up of malaria control interventions, capable of reducing malaria incidence by as much as 90%.
