What we do
Mary’s Meals provides life-changing school meals to children who are living in some of the world’s poorest communities. The promise of a good meal brings hungry children into the classroom, where they can gain an education and better opportunities for the future.
We are already serving more than three million children every school day. But millions more are still waiting for Mary’s Meals. With your support more hungry children will wake each morning knowing they will eat a good meal today – your donation means they have hope for a brighter tomorrow.
This Christmas, a donation to Mary’s Meals will have double the impact. Give today and your gift will be matched, thanks to a group of generous donors, up to £700,000. Right now, your donation will be DOUBLED, meaning that just £19.15 can feed TWO children for a whole school year.

Mary's Meals is a series of lots of little acts of love. If you put all those acts of sacrifice together, it creates a beautiful thing.
