Agriculture and Education

Pilgrim Relief Society helps to sustain remote tribes by providing training in agriculture and farming. Recent global economic and political changes have impacted remote tribes. For example, the hunter-gatherer bushmen of the Kalahari Desert have recently been confined to relatively small conservations or settlements. This has imposed upon them a more sedentary lifestyle. These communities may require education and training to adapt to a new lifestyle.

We try to help villages develop agricultural skills adapted to their own environment and to their own specific needs. Peanut crops in the Congo for the Bambuti Pygmies, vegetable gardens for the San tribe in the Kalahari and now the largest of the agricultural efforts, the Pilgrim Society Development Project in Omatako, Namibia. One of the greatest needs in all our projects around the world is education.

From place to place, from culture to culture, this concept differs widely, depending on the specific needs that the remote communities have.In the Kalahari, for example, the children need to be educated in such a way that they will have a chance to integrate in their society and become leaders of their own tribe and represent their communities on a national and global stage.

Pilgrim Society is actively involved in providing sponsorship for the education of young people from high school to university, as well as building schools in communities that do not have access to education facilities or services.
