SUPPORT OUR 

Our local suppliers come in many forms. From supplying daily seasonal fruits and vegetables to locally sourced materials for uniforms, from school supplies and text books to fresh bread rolls or mandazis (Tanzanian fried scones) from the local bakery!

St Jude’s is more than a school to suppliers. It means contributing to Tanzania’s sustainable community development through transparent and fair procurement from our local supply network.

Donate Today

For our 300 local suppliers, St Jude’s provides a regular source of income, benefiting from the AU$10M that we spend in the local economy per year. We create financial support for suppliers' entire families, who are sending their children to school and creating new job opportunities. This translates to each supplier hiring on average 5-10 other people and supporting 2-4 children in their family through to higher education! That is an extra 600+ children educated through your support!

Join our journey to see how one Mawimbi or ‘ripple’ can impact a whole community. When you support St Jude’s, you support more than education.

Support our Suppliers

By supporting the school, you are supporting more than just the students. You are supporting an entire community. St Jude’s has over 300 local suppliers supplying goods and services to the school who in turn support an additional 3,000 Tanzanians. That is how a ripple of change breaks the cycle of poverty.

Be a part of the change

Your kind donation today would contribute to the ripple of change that affects not only the school and our suppliers, but the community at large. This is how we can break the cycle of poverty together! Your support will provide our students with nutritious meals, and, in turn, help our food suppliers.

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.
