Welcome!

We are the Friends of St James Mission & School, known to all members as FSJMS, a Charity registered in February 1993.​

St James Mission and School is near Nyamandhlovu in Zimbabwe, 50 miles from Bulawayo. FSJMS was set up by a group having a close association with the mission and school. Those in the group have either taught there themselves or have a relative or friend who has done so. The objectives of the Charity are to:

• provide, assist and enhance the educational role and work of the school in imparting and disseminating knowledge in all areas of conventional academic and commercial study;
• promote the belief and practising of the Christian religion amongst the pupils of the school, their families and the local community as a whole;
• assist in the relief of poverty amongst those pupils and their families and members of the local community as a whole who have no permanent housing or permanent water supply or do not have an adequate food or medical supply or adequate shoes and clothes.
