Providing school meals in areas of conflict
Mary’s Meals operates extensively in areas of conflict and crisis, delivering school meals in some of the world’s most dangerous and challenging locations. We serve some of the world’s most vulnerable children, those hardest to reach who might otherwise be forgotten.
The promise of a nutritious meal helps to bring children living in fragile and crisis-affected areas into the safety of the classroom, providing them with a sanctuary from the chaos around them where they can learn, play and simply be children.
A donation of £19.15 will provide a child with food, safety and hope for a whole school year.
A vital safety net for families
We help bring children and communities together in times of crisis. In the classroom, hunger and exhaustion give way to laughter and joy as daily school meals fuel learning and play.
Mary’s Meals provides a vital safety net for families in desperate situations. The promise of a daily school meal means parents know that their child will eat today – freeing up what little income or food they have to stretch further and meet other urgent needs.
A sustainable solution to hunger
In places torn apart by conflict, school meals are a lifeline that lasts. As conflict subsides, the Mary’s Meals school feeding programme provides a foundation for recovery – supporting education, strengthening communities, and providing a sustainable solution to hunger in the long term.
Mary’s Meals has decades of experience working with local experts
We have decades of experience working in areas impacted by conflict and crises to reach the children who need us most. In areas of high insecurity and instability – from war in Yemen and Lebanon, to conflict in Ethiopia and South Sudan and gang violence in Haiti – we work closely with our expert local partners to adapt our school feeding programme, so that we can keep providing children in crisis with food, stability and a reason to attend school.
The stability of regular gifts gives us the ability to adapt our programmes in the face of challenges we experience working in fragile and crisis-affected areas. Set up a regular donation today and help us keep our promise to some of the world's most vulnerable children.
Give hope to children
As conflict and crisis continue to disrupt children’s lives around the world, your donation will make the difference between a child struggling in the most devastating of circumstances and a child experiencing a sense of stability and normality through school meals.
Today we are reaching more than half a million children affected by violence, instability and conflict with a nutritious meal every school day. With your support, we can continue reaching children who need us most – and bring hope to many more still waiting.
