More and more people are taking part in our Sponsor A School scheme. It is a great way of helping us expand the Mary’s Meals school feeding programme and a great way of giving your fundraising a focus.

Sponsor a School in Malawi
There are several ways to take part in the
Sponsor A School scheme in Malawi:

Building a School Kitchen
The average cost of building and equipping a school kitchen to provide pupils with a daily meal in Malawi is £7,000. If want to take part, please contact us to sign up and receive a briefing document and fundraising advice. When your £7,000 target is reached, you will be allocated a school and a sign bearing your name will be put up at the kitchen. You will receive photos of the sign at the school – a lovely reward for a lot of hard fundraising work.


Covering Feeding Costs
Supporters can fundraise to cover the annual costs of providing Mary’s Meals in a particular school. If you decide to do this, you receive the briefing document giving information about Mary’s Meals across Malawi and, on reaching your agreed target (a year’s feeding costs an average £6,000) you are allocated a school and receive photos of the school with a sign bearing your name. For each year of support you will receive an annual update. This type of support is absolutely vital to us and ensures that hungry children get their life-changing meal each day.

Kitchen and Feeding Costs
Some generous supporters do both – they fundraise to cover the cost of building and equipping the kitchen and continue to fundraise to cover the costs of providing a daily meal in the school.

Sponsor a School in Liberia
We We are delighted that the Sponsor a School scheme has been extended to include schools in Liberia. In Liberia, the challenges local communities face are different to those in Malawi.and they are able to build kitchens for themselves, we are therefore looking for people to fund the average, ongoing cost per year of providing a daily meal for the pupils. This is around £7,000. Sponsors are given a briefing document with information about Mary’s Meals in Liberia when they sign up, and receive details about their allocated school once they near their total. A sign will be placed at the school bearing the sponsor’s name and photographs will be provided. Those providing ongoing support will also receive an annual update on their school’s progress.

The Sponsor A School scheme has a wide appeal with all sorts of groups and individuals now participating whether; parishes, businesses, families or work colleagues.
