St Jude’s is a charity-funded school providing over 1,500 students with a free, high-quality

education.

Page 3: Welcome to The School of St Jude Tanzania, Africa.

With thousands of applicants annually, less than 1% will become St Jude’s students.

Page 4: Welcome to The School of St Jude Tanzania, Africa.

Without an education, children face a continuing cycle of poverty, hard labour and sickness.

So what are we doing about it?

Page 6: Welcome to The School of St Jude Tanzania, Africa.

After university Gemma Rice (now Sisia) left her family in Australia to volunteer as a teacher in Uganda.

Page 7: Welcome to The School of St Jude Tanzania, Africa.

Gemma came to the belief that a good education should be a right and NOT a privilege. She believed education was the best way to fight poverty.

Page 8: Welcome to The School of St Jude Tanzania, Africa.

After receiving a piece of land from her father-in-law, Gemma promised to build a small school in Arusha, Tanzania to help break the cycle of poverty that grips the nation.

Founded with the assistance and dedication of Rotary Clubs and friends, the building of St Jude’s began in 2001.

Page 10: Welcome to The School of St Jude Tanzania, Africa.

St Jude’s first classrooms were built by volunteers from Gemma’s home district in Northern NSW, Australia.

From humble beginnings with one volunteer teacher and three students in 2002, St Jude’s began to grow…

…and grow and grow!

Gemma believed that regardless of skin colour, country of birth, religion or tribe, every child deserves the best.

Page 14: Welcome to The School of St Jude Tanzania, Africa.

And so, good classrooms were built, qualified local teachers employed, quality education resources acquired and a safe school environment developed so that both students and staff could thrive.

Now in 2012, St Jude’s provides a free, high-quality education to over 1,500 of the poorest children, with boarding rooms provided for over 1,000.
