Mother of Fransiska Evance in Class 3A, Moshono Campus
(Translated)
The students at St. Jude study happily and get all necessary things like uniforms, exercise books, etc… and it’s all free which is different compared to other schools, even government schools. The school is modern with many teachers, and they use new technology. The school also takes a good care of the students’ health, and makes the students good translators and makes them confident. Because of inflation in Tanzania, it is very difficult to send more than one child to school, but the school of St. Jude helped me to sponsor Fransiska so I managed to send her young sister to another school. Many thanks go to The School of St. Jude management. God bless Gemma, we are lucky to have her in Tanzania!

About Us
How Are We Funded?

Sponsors of Students, Teachers, Buses and Classrooms

As the school receives no support from any government body, it relies totally on sponsors for its running costs (including maintenance of all buildings and equipment).  

In 2008, Australian and Non-Australian Sponsorship amounted to AU$1,177,084. Over 80% of our sponsors are Australian.

Donors

It is only thanks to our hundreds of donors that we are able to expand and make all our dreams and future projects a reality. Donations help to buy water tanks, electrical lines, school buses, all furniture and equipment for boarding houses, dining halls, classrooms, administration equipment and all the bricks, steel, glass and cement for actual construction. In 2008 the donations we received helped to run both schools and 12 boarding houses for the year.

It is the donations that make the difference between an average school and a school where the students are obtaining some of the best academic results in the country.

Following is a breakdown of the amount of donations received in 2008:
AU$860,800 Australian Donations
AU$5,277,802 Non-Australian Donations (mainly from the USA)
