St Jude School is a charity funded organization located in the northern part of Arusha Region of Tanzania.
St Jude located across three campuses, provides free primary and secondary education to the poorest and brightest children of the Arusha City. It also provides boarding for over 1000 students and employs over 270 local Tanzanian staff members.
St Jude was founded in 2002 by Australian Gemma Sisia based on the belief that education is the best way to fight poverty., who dreamed of helping end poverty in Africa. She proved to be a talented fundraiser by engaging people and organisations such as Rotary.
She named the school after St Jude; the patron saint of hopeless causes. 'My first donation was $10 and I had no building experience before moving to Africa, so the likelihood of the school actually getting off the ground was pretty hopeless! Anyway, I believed that with hard work, passion and prayer you can get through anything. I still believe that today
