Double your gift to keep our promise

Last year, thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Mary’s Meals reached 3 million children across 16 countries with a daily school meal.  

That milestone was driven by your belief that no child should go hungry in their place of education. With the next child always in mind, you helped us reach a further 462,000 children in over 855 schools.  

Whilst 2025 was a year of expansion, 2026 has been about keeping our promise to the now more than 3 million children who receive Mary’s Meals.  

Throughout this year we have seen escalating conflict devastate communities in South Sudan, Haiti and Yemen, while climate shocks, including El Niño, have deepened food insecurity in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia. The need for school meals has never been greater and delivering them has never been more complex.  

As the year draws to a close, a generous supporter has once again offered to match your donation and therefore double your impact. With your gift matched, we can do twice as much to protect the meals children already rely on and to make our programmes more resilient in the places where the need is greatest. Matching is available only while match funds last.  

Together, we can make sure that for another year, more than 3 million children can count on a meal that brings nourishment, hope and the chance of an education, whatever challenges they face. 

If you have any questions about this appeal or about how your gift will be used, please contact Amirah, Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships, at amirah.houry@gmail.com
