Feed a child this Christmas

Help us provide 25 million life-changing school meals to children across the world.

 

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.

Thanks to our low-cost approach it costs just £19.15 to provide a child with meals in a place of education for a whole school year.
