Beacon of Hope College
Since 2006, Pilgrim Africa has operated a boarding secondary school, with approximately 500 girls and boys, most of whom have suffered abduction at the hands of the LRA or other traumatic effects of war. Beacon of Hope provides comprehensively for the childrens' education, trauma treatment, medical needs, room and board, and provides a nurturing place in which they can heal and learn. Please see a short video of our students.
