What we do
Mary’s Meals serves nutritious school meals to children living in some of the world’s poorest communities. The promise of a good meal brings hungry children into the classroom, giving them the energy to learn and hope for a better future.
We are already feeding 2,429,182 children every school day – and, together, we can reach the next hungry child waiting for Mary’s Meals. It costs just €22 to feed a child for an entire school year.

Zero Hunger: how it happened
"One day, I hope not too long from now, a child will read in a history book about famines of the past and the fact that millions of people used to die of hunger year after year, in a world of plenty. And like us when we first read about slavery, or the Holocaust, they will be outraged and incredulous."
