Move on Malaria

In 2008 TSMP and IMA began a very exciting partnership with the Ugandan non-profit Pilgrim, an amazing and admirable organisation. Founded by a Ugandan man, Pilgrim is devoted to the displaced people of the north, a tragedy ignored by most of the people of Uganda. This October, Pilgrim began its “Move on Malaria” campaign to “move against malaria on all fronts” all across the Teso region.


The campaign began in Katakwi, an area hit hard not only by the rebels but also currently suffering frequent violent raids by the Karamojong“cattle warriors.” It’s an area where people live in extreme insecurity and with great need for health services. Pilgrim went village to village, camp to camp, to every home in Katakwi District. They sprayed the homes, mostly grass-thatched huts, for mosquitos. During the spraying, clinics were set up to treat active malaria and to de-worm children. IMA recruited Ugandan nurses and midwives to join the Pilgrim team. They administered vaccinations to all children five and younger and vaccinated all women of child-bearing age for tetanus.


IMA nurses and midwives vaccinated 10,759 children. It was an enormous undertaking, but given the energy and commitment of both organisations, it was bound to succeed. Pilgrim, TSMPand IMA will return to Katakwi, and TSMP and IMA plan to continue to partner with Pilgrim in the Kumi District of Teso.
