Mary’s Meals feeds 2,429,182 children every school day. That’s more than 350 million meals a year. 

Whether you give money, time, prayer, or help to spread our message – your little act of love can give children living in some of the world’s poorest countries hope for a better future. 

Why make a small change for Mary's Meals?

We provide children from some of the world’s poorest communities with a nutritious meal at school. This encourages them into the classroom, giving them energy to learn in school and build a ladder out of poverty. 

We serve more than 2.4 million children every school day, across 16 countries. Our supporters and volunteers grow the global movement, working together to reach the next child. People from all walks of life, people of hope, people like you.

It costs just 10p a day to feed a hungry child with Mary’s Meals in school, so just £4 will provide 40 meals. This means that even the smallest donation will have a big impact.

Other ways to support Mary's Meals

There are lots of small ways you can help us keep our promise to the 2.4 million children who eat Mary’s Meals.
