More Than a Meal | Mary's Meals

We serve over 350 million meals every year!

It's more than a meal, it's a promise.

Mary’s Meals currently reaches more than 2.4 million children with nutritious daily meals every school day, but our global movement is so much more than delivering crucial meals to some of the world’s most vulnerable children.

It's community

Mary's Meals is a global movement supported by people from many walks of life and different backgrounds. We work with thousands of dedicated volunteers and supporters.

It's potential

The daily school meals help to alleviate immediate hunger in children whilst providing them with the energy to attend class which in turn fuels them with the potential to improve their learning.

It's connection

As a result of the generosity and dedication of our supporters and volunteers, millions of children are instead sitting in a classroom with a full stomach, learning how to read and write.

Explore the impact of Mary’s Meals

Through exploring the impact of Mary’s Meals on the individual child and their families, and by shining a light on how our meals are connecting children who would otherwise be separated by poverty levels, tribal conflicts and caste systems, we promise that not only is our movement here for the long term; but that the impact of our programme can span a lifetime.

Through our long-term support, we foster each child’s potential so they can keep attending school and learn essential life skills to help them contribute positively to their own communities.
