Mary’s Meals UK Charity - Helping to Feed Hungry Children Living in Poverty Worldwide

Give hope to children

It costs just £19.15 to feed children, like Rahwa, for a whole school year.

Rahwa's story

When we first met Rahwa, her disability had kept her isolated, afraid to leave her home. A devastating civil war in Tigray, where she lives in Ethiopia, then threatened any chance she might have had of a brighter future. Yet, 12-year-old Rahwa has overcome those odds and today, she is thriving.

Motivated by the promise of a nutritious daily school meal, Rahwa and her brother started attending classes. Now, you can often find her in the schoolyard laughing and playing with her friends. Or in class, her concentration and energy fuelled by the life-changing meals she receives.

Please donate today and help us reach more children like Rahwa.

We serve our life-changing meals to children living in some of the world's poorest countries.

A gift that adds up!

If you set up a new monthly regular gift in 2025, your first two payments will be doubled!

This is thanks to a generous donor who is matching new regular gifts and increases to regular gifts, up to a value of £250,000. Help us unlock all the available funding to provide even more meals for hungry children.
