Hands On
Below you’ll find practical information on how to make a lasting difference in lives around the world. We have no intention of changing people, cultures, view of the world or make them look like the rest of us. We believe in the diversity of the world and we intend to keep it untouched. By the same token, we don’t believe in sitting idle watching little children die of thirst, hunger or diseases. Therefore, we spend all our energy creating long term programs that benefit our communities.
Current Projects
The Kalahari
San Project
Starts: Ongoing
Pilgrim Movement has a unique opportunity to economically save the San people of Kalahari from abject poverty and starvation, due to his position in the San tribe, since his adoption as a San member in 1998.
No jobs, no training, no education are just a few of the San challenges today. This puts them in a very difficult situation, worsened by the last few years of pandemic and war in the world that stopped the flow of tourists since 2020, leaving them dire situations.
The only solution to lift the San living in Namibia out of this is to create skill development projects, training the young in new skills and teaching how to use their culture and traditions to become self sufficient.
Orphans Support
Starts: Ongoing
We are currently supporting 200 orphans in Zambia. The country has over one million orphans mostly AIDS orphans. This support consists of education sponsorship, feeding programs and medical care. To be clear: we DO NOT believe in the institution of orphanage; orphanages are abusive institutions which leave the children without any skills for life. Our orphans grow in the local villages under the care of local families. We support the family with everything the child needs, so we place no burden on them. This way the orphans grow up as a confident human being, speaking their own language and learning the culture of their own people.
Agricultural Programs
Starts: Ongoing
We believe in the saying: “give a man a fish and you feed him for one day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for life”
We established complex agricultural programs that create a self sufficiency that will sustain them for the rest of their life. We have established orchards, organic gardens and vegetable fields that will give this children food and will teach them how to grow food.
This way we will not be dependent on donations for our food programs and use this funding to other self-sustainable projects and skill improvement programs.
Solar powered water systems
Starts: Ongoing
We have installed over 110 water systems powered by solar technology that feed over 30.000 peoples in the Kalahari desert. We have also installed 6 water catchments on the island of Espiritu Santu in Vanuatu.
These water systems are completely environmentally friendly and self sustainable. They provide up to 10.000 litres of water per day for each village. This gives them a new chance of survival becouse they can wash, drink clean water and plant food around their yards.
A solar powered water system can pump clean water for 20 years.
Sports Projects
We also sponsor orphans in their sport activities, both boys and girls, with facilities, sports fields and sports equipment. We have currently 7 soccer teams, 2 volleyball teams, 2 netball teams.
Future Projects
Support Programs for the Inuit Communities of Canada
Starts: April 2021
The Inuit communities of Nunavut Canada are long survivors of the North. We will establish youth programs in close cooperation with the Inuit leaders.
These programs involve specialized equipment, tools and qualified teams.
Disaster recovery programs for South Pacific Islands
Starts: April 2021
The devastation of hurricanes in the South Pacific is extensive, especially in the context of global warming.
We will establish a complex program that will support the local communities with rebuilding their villages and their lives.
Marginalized villages of Romania
Starts: April 2021
Romania is a mountainous country in Eastern Europe, making it difficult for some remote villages to have proper access to education, sanitation and electricity.
We will provide their children access to this services by creating the infrastructure.
