Mother of Upper Primary Student Fransiska in Class 6

(Translated) The students at St Jude's 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 offers great boarding facilities, they take good care of the students' health, make the students good translators and build confidence.  Because of inflation in Tanzania, it is very difficult to send more than one child to school, but The School of St Jude has found a sponsor for Fransiska. Many thanks go to The School of St Jude management. God bless Gemma, we are lucky to have her in Tanzania!
