A shocking 61 million of the world’s hungriest children do not attend school. In order to survive, they have to work or beg.
Even if they do make it into the classroom, hunger affects their ability to learn.
With Mary's Meals it costs just £13.90 to feed a child at school ALL YEAR.
Food + Education = Hope
Mary’s Meals school feeding programmes are owned and run by community volunteers in the countries where they provide food. They prepare, cook and serve the daily meal in each school.
Our team is running the Bristol Half Marathon to raise the funds to sponsor Chinambiya School in Malawi. All 648 children would get free school meals for year, and the ability to access a basic and life-changing education.
