The Mary’s Meals Schools Award
THE MARY'S MEALS SCHOOLS AWARD
At Mary's Meals, we believe that education is the key to transforming lives, and we deeply value the vital role that schools and teachers play in this mission. By providing life-changing school meals to some of the world’s poorest children, we empower their communities to build a future where every child can learn and thrive.
That’s why we’ve created the Mary's Meals Schools Award Programme – a chance for your secondary school to inspire students to take action, make a difference and become part of a global movement focused on driving real change for children living in some of the world’s poorest communities.
WHY GET INVOLVED?
The Mary's Meals Schools Award Programme offers your school a unique opportunity to:
Teach social responsibility: Help students understand global hunger and the importance of compassion by engaging them in meaningful discussions and activities.
Inspire leadership: Give students the chance to take on leadership roles and organise events that foster skills like teamworking and problem solving.
Make a real difference: Every action – whether it’s fundraising, raising awareness or advocating for change – helps provide life-changing school meals to hungry children.
Build community: Promote unity within your school by bringing students and staff together around a common cause, fostering empathy and building global awareness.
Provide valuable life experience: Students will gain practical experience in event planning and communication skills that are vital for future success.
