Glasgow University Mary's Meals Society Porridge Week is back!

Mary's Meals provides over 2,000,000 children with a daily meal in a place of education in some of the most impoverished communities in the world. Mary's Meals’ efforts not only feed children's bellies but also feed their minds by providing them with fuel, which allows them to focus better on their education and build a ladder out of poverty.

In Mary's Meals largest feeding programmes in Malawi and Liberia, the daily meal is nutrient-enriched porridge, and to celebrate the life-changing power of a simple meal, every year Mary's Meals celebrates World Porridge Day, which falls on Tuesday, October 10th, this year.

For the past few years, students at the Glasgow University Mary's Meals Society have decided that one day of porridge wasn't enough, so they set themselves the challenge of only eating porridge, rice, and beans (more Mary's Meals staples) for a week to coincide with World Porridge Day. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit our page, and if you want to support us, donations are always welcome. It costs just £19.15 to feed a child for a whole year with Mary's Meals, so any contribution, big or small, makes a big difference!
