Mary’s Meals is a registered charity serving a nutritious daily meal to some of the world’s poorest children to attract them into the classroom where they can gain an education and a brighter future.
There are 71 million primary school-age children out of school around the world; they have to work or beg to survive. And when they do make it into the classroom, hunger affects their ability to learn.
Mary’s Meals gives children the energy to learn so they can become the men and women who will lift their communities out of poverty in later life
It costs just £19.15 to feed a child with Mary’s Meals every day for a school year!
As an organisation working in some of the world’s poorest countries, we keep our running costs low to maximise the good we can do with the donations entrusted to us. So, if you’re looking for a charity to donate to – and a way to help feed desperately hungry children – you can be sure that your kindness will change lives with Mary’s Meals.
Our work wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated volunteers: both those who help to serve our school meals in their own communities, and those who raise awareness of our mission in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to grow the movement and feed more children.
You can help to transform the lives of hungry children by supporting our charity’s important work.
As well as attracting children into the classroom, school feeding has the power to improve concentration and participation in class, as well as increasing children’s overall happiness.
It is therefore a key investment in a country’s future and a cost-effective route out of poverty in the long-term.
