Lette's story of hope

We first met Lette in Child 31, she was an 11-year-old orphan living in Malawi. Her mother had just died, and she was doing her best to care for her little brothers. She dropped out of school and struggled to find food – the family often went to bed hungry.

Thanks to the promise of a nutritious meal in school she has been able to return to her studies and will soon graduate from Jacaranda School for Orphans where she eats Mary’s Meals.
