The mission of The School of St Jude is to educate disadvantaged, bright students from the Arusha municipality to become moral and intellectual leaders in Tanzania, and for St Jude’s to thereby demonstrate educational leadership in Tanzania.
Global Swimarathon
This is an opportunity through your local Rotary Club, wherever you are in the world, to raise funds to eradicate Polio, raise the profile of Rotary in your Community, encourage people to swim for health and fitness and be part of the world’s biggest 1 day swimming event. The aim is to get as many people swimming at events around the world each February and raise sponsorship for their efforts. All funds raised will go to Rotary International Polio Campaign and other charities via your normal club channels.
