Pilgrim Africa was founded in 2001 as an indigenous 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 over two decades ago as a small organization providing simple medical and nutritional relief and psycho-social support to desperate refugees, Pilgrim Africa has grown to have international reach in public health and education. Retaining a strong focus in Uganda on work within communities, Pilgrim Africa is currently engaged in international evaluation.

Pilgrim Africa is a Ugandan NGO led by a Ugandan board. In 2004, it acquired a “friends of” organization in the US of the same name. The US organization has a separate, active fundraising board, but shares bylaws and is closely partnered. Staff is concentrated in Uganda. In 2006, Pilgrim Africa founded Beacon of Hope School in Soroti, Uganda. In 2020, the school became an independent organization and is now a grantee of Pilgrim Africa.
