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 poorest communities in the world. Not only does this ensure children are fed, but it also encourages them into the classroom, giving them an education and hope for a better life.

In Mary's Meals largest feeding programs 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, and this year it falls on Thursday, the 10th of October.

For the past few years, students at the Glasgow University Mary's Meals Society have decided that one day of porridge was not enough, so 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 huge difference!
