Mary’s Meals is a registered charity serving a nutritious daily meal to some of the world’s poorest children to attract them into the classroom where they can gain an education and a brighter future. There are 71 million primary school-age children out of school around the world; they have to work or beg to survive. And when they do make it into the classroom, hunger affects their ability to learn.
Our work is only possible because of our many dedicated volunteers across the globe – from people in the UK who raise awareness, to those in the countries we serve who rise early to cook nutritious meals for their children. Thanks to people from all walks of life who give their time freely to volunteering for us, we can reach more hungry children with the promise of a daily meal in school.
