ABOUT DCW FUNDRAISING FOR THE SCHOOL OF ST JUDE
Who are we?
We are a group of thirteen students from Dominican College Wicklow. We will be working over the next year to raise awareness about the school of St. Jude and the amazing work they do in Tanzania. We will be helping to fight poverty through education by fundraising for St Jude’s to help them continue their crucial work, as they are entirely dependent on charitable donations. In previous years, students from Dominican College Wicklow have raised over one hundred thousand euro for the school of St Jude and also sponsor students who attend the school of St Jude,helping to give them an education and a chance in life that they would not
otherwise have.
What is our goal?
Our goal is to help the School of St. Jude fight poverty through education by fundraising and making a big donation to the school next summer.
What happens to the money that we fundraise?
All money fundraised will be donated to the School of St. Jude. In summer 2018 we will then go to visit the school in Tanzania to see first hand the impact of the school. However students and teachers who travel to St Jude’s in Tanzania will pay for their own flights and accommodation. Every cent that we fundraise will go towards fighting poverty through education.
How will we fundraise?
We will organise fundraising events in Wicklow and beyond. We will organise events that different age groups will enjoy attending.
How much money do we hope to raise?
We will try to fundraise as much as possible as this is a cause that we really believe in. We believe that education is the key to fighting poverty. We have not set a limit to the amount of money that we want to fundraise this year.
Why are we fundraising for a school in Tanzania when there are worthy causes in Ireland?
There are many worthy causes in Ireland. Throughout the year we will also be fundraising for some of these causes. However, we believe that the school of St Jude will benefit not only Tanzania and Africa, but eventually the whole world. St Jude’s is educating the future leaders of Tanzania and Africa.
What is the school of St. Jude?
The School of St. Jude is a charity-funded school located in Arusha, Tanzania. The school helps fight poverty through education by providing a free, high quality education to the poorest and brightest children in the area, who would otherwise have had little or no education, most likely not making it through primary school. Because of the School of St. Jude, thousands of children will now have a bright future and will be able to go to university. Graduates are encouraged to pursue medical, legal financial, educational, entrepreneurial, environmental and political fields so that they will be able to affect change in their country as highly educated,
ethical leaders. Students are also required to give back to the community for 1 year after they graduate by doing community service, often teaching in the crowded and understaffed government schools of the area. The school also provides employment to many people from Arusha as almost all of the staff are local. The school stimulates the local economy by buying any supplies needed from local vendors.
When was the School of St. Jude founded?
The land for the school was first given to the founder, Gemma Sisia, and her husband Richard in 1998. The first classrooms were built in 2000 and the school opened on January 29th, 2002 with 3 students.
How much does it cost to run the school?
The running costs of three campuses of the school, Sisia Campus, Moivaro Campus and Smith Campus and two boarding campuses costs over €4 million per year.
How is the school of St Jude funded?
The school is entirely funded from generous donations and the schools sponsorship program. The school does not receive any funding from the Tanzanian Government.
