St. Jude provides a free high-quality education to children who due to poverty and social pressure would otherwise be unlikely to complete their schooling. Everything we do is for the children , and to produce successful academic and welfare outcomes. Each child we invite into the school represents another family who has the opportunity to escape the cycle of poverty. Due to resources we are limited to 150 student each year so in order to ensure we are selecting children who meets our criteria, each year we run a rigorous student selection process.
