In 2002, The School of St Jude was founded by Gemma Sisia, a young Australian in her early 20’s from Armidale.

The School of St Jude began with a single teacher and a small group of sponsored students.

Today, the School of St Jude stands as a trailblazer in charitable education across Africa. It offers free, high-quality education to 1,800 exceptional primary and secondary students from underprivileged backgrounds, providing everything necessary for their academic success and overall well-being.

Spread across three campuses, they offer boarding facilities for all secondary students and employ approximately 300 Tanzanian staff.

An impressive 97% of St Jude’s secondary graduates pursue higher education, supported either through the Beyond St Jude’s program or other avenues. Beyond St Jude’s assists hundreds of graduates in accessing higher education and annually places over 20,000 government school students with volunteer teachers.

All students and scholars at St Jude’s are beneficiaries of scholarships.

Edge Mediations will donate $150 to the School of St. Jude for every mediation they conduct. The donation will be made at the end of each month. This program will not only change the life of one student, but the lives of that student’s family and community.
