Pilgrim seeks to restore hope and dignity to the needy in Africa, providing material and spiritual aid to empower the lives, dreams and talents of the people we serve so that God may be glorified. Pilgrim was founded in 2001 as an indegenous Christian response to the plight of more than 1.5 million refugees living in internally displaced persons (IDP) camps in the war-torn regions of Northern Uganda. From its inception as a small organization providing simple relief and psycho-social support to the desperate refugees, Pilgrim has grown to be an international organization with aid and development interventions in relief, medicine and public health, trauma counseling, education, and agricultural training and resettlement. Our long-term goal is to help African people move from extreme poverty to sustainable productivity.
