SUPPORT OUR

Our alumni step into the community as volunteers and have supported over 100,000 government school children through the Beyond St Jude’s Program. That’s not all! Our alumni also shatter national averages with 97% attending higher education versus 8%. Our gender ration of girls to boys entering higher education is 1:1 female to male compared to 1:28 in Tanzania (28x better!). Our alumni are entrepreneurial and start businesses, employ others and on average, financially support 2 siblings through education.

That is the Mawimbi or ‘ripples’ of supporting a student Beyond St Jude’s. It’s more than education.

Since 2015, more than 100,000 government school students have benefited from being taught by Community Service Year (CSY) volunteers. This program has saved government schools over AU$2M in teachers’ salaries, and that’s a conservative calculation! For every year of our program, a government school on average will save over AU$13,000.

But our alumni don’t stop there. After entering tertiary at 12x the national average, they then go onto start businesses at a rate of around seven per year. This translates into 30 businesses and employing over 250 people directly from our alumni. Are you starting to see the Mawimbi?

But don’t take our word for it…

So what is the true Mawimbi of your support of St Jude’s?

Our data shows that for each year a student is at St Jude’s they on average improved their income by 15%. That’s not hope for the future. That’s not the hope of better job prospects. That’s real impact. Today. Alleviating pressures at the core of the poverty cycle.
