School of St Jude
EXCITING NEWS: It’s official! We have got the go ahead to open a new secondary school for girls and we’re doing it in January. This is a really important next step for St Jude’s, a chance to make an even bigger impact than we are already. By increasing our intake of girls into secondary school, St Jude’s can help stack the odds in their favour, in a country where girls from a poor rural background will only receive 3.7 years of schooling on average. We hope you’ll join us for this new chapter, we’ll have more updates coming soon.
