Mary’s Meals is now feeding over 600,000 hungry children

Many more children, in some of the world’s poorest countries, are now benefiting from Mary's Meals. After reaching the milestone of feeding half a million children at the beginning of 2011, the continued generosity of Mary’s Meals supporters has since enabled an extra 100,705 children to receive a daily meal in their place of education.

Mary’s Meals is a global movement that sets up school feeding projects in some of the world’s poorest communities, where hunger and poverty stop children from gaining an education.

Our idea is simple one that works. We provide one daily meal in a place of education in order to attract chronically poor children into a classroom where they gain an education that can, in the future, be their ladder out of poverty.

Mary’s Meals began by feeding 200 children in Malawi in 2002. Today, we feed over 600,000 children every day in 16 different countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and the Caribbean.
