Courage to Care | Fighting Poverty through Education | Avila College

Avila College is honoured to welcome founder Gemma Sisia (AM) and two incredible alumni, Dr Suleiman Mohammed and Winnie Nemes from the School of St Jude in Tanzania to share first-hand their inspiring stories, experiences and challenges. In Tanzania, a staggering 72% of school aged students are not in secondary school, yet the School of St Jude provides free, quality education to 1,800 primary and secondary students and supports hundreds of tertiary scholars every year.

Australian born Gemma firmly believes that education is the right of all children and the strongest weapon in fighting poverty. Join us for an evening of inspiration and transformation as we hear from a woman who had the courage to care and alleviate poverty through education.
