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.

Catrin ran the 2022 London Marathon for FSJMS!
Catrin Komor completed the London Marathon in 5 hours 37 minutes and 20 seconds, in total raising over £1300 for FSJMS! Thank you Catrin! 

We're also excited to announce that 'Children First International' have granted FSJMS a place in the 2023 London Marathon, to raise funds to help girls at St James School complete their secondary education through FSJMS bursaries. (All secondary education in Zimbabwe is fee paying). More information to come in early 2023!

Please take a look at St. James School website.
