In Conversation: The School of St Jude (Transforming Lives Through Education)

Join us for a special event, In Conversations: The School of St Jude, to learn about the incredible impact of The School of St Jude in Tanzania.

Founded by Australian humanitarian Gemma Sisia in 2002, the school provides free scholarships to 100% of its 1,800 primary and secondary school students each year, making it one of the largest charity schools in Africa.

At this event, Gemma and John Stanley, a graduate of the school, will share firsthand stories about how the school has transformed the lives of its students, their families, and the local community in Tanzania. Thanks to the generosity of Australians, who contribute 92% of all revenue raised, the school not only provides education but also improves economic, social, and health outcomes in the region.

"What I love about The School of St Jude is the fact that opportunities are given to the students to not only complete schooling there, but also to give back to their community as part of a gap year, which includes teaching at the government schools, before completing university studies under the sponsorship program. A 2-night visit to the school in mid-2024 was a delightful experience, including a tour of the student art gallery, 2 beautiful campus libraries, and a home visit for afternoon tea with one of the families. Gemma’s story is truly inspirational!" Trish Cutler

With 97 cents in every dollar raised goes directly to the operational costs of the school, ensuring that your support has a lasting impact.
