Mary’s Meals is a global movement that sets up school feeding programmes in communities where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education. The charity now feeds more than 2.6 million children every school day and it costs just £19.15/€22.00 to feed a child for a year.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Mary’s meals aims to provide chronically hungry children that have suffered war, famine, poverty or natural disaster with one meal a day in school. In this way the children are encouraged to gain the education that can lift them out of poverty in later life.  Mary’s Meals also runs a backpack project whereby backpacks are filled with the basic educational material to send to the children attending the school. Marys meals also runs a school building project.

Our aim is to raise the remaining £2000 to complete a second school in Malawi and provide a back pack for each of the children who will attend.

If you would like more information on the contents of these back packs please contact us or visit

It's £6.15 to feed one child for a whole year!! This is your lunch money, a drink, a packet of cigarettes!! Yep I'm as much at fault as everyone else but this statistic really blew me away. Please give what you can as these children are desperate.

Many thanks for reading this xxx
