The School of St. Jude in Tanzania, Africa

Gemma has traveled the world spreading the word about The School of St Jude; from the International Rotary Convention to the TEDx stage, she has inspired people of all ages and from all walks of life with her story. St Jude’s was built on her belief that everyone has the right to an education. Since 2002, Gemma has seen the school grow to offer free, quality education to 1,800 students across three campuses, expand to include a successful
university program and watched over 400 alumni graduate from university and begin entering the workforce.

During this year’s tour, Gemma will be joined by an incredible St Jude’s alumni: Dr. Suleiman. Dr. Suleiman joined St Jude’s in Form 1, spending 6 years at the school and was among the first Beyond St Jude’s (BSJ) scholars. After studying medicine, he is now working as a doctor at Tanzania’s largest and most renowned hospital. Both of them will take your guests on journey through the growth of the school, sharing the big wins, challenges and undeniable results of the schools model through personal stories.
