Mary’s Meals provides daily meals in school for over 3,000 children in schools in Kampala.

School Feeding
Mary’s Meals provides meals in 3 schools: 1 secondary school, 1 primary school, and 1 nursery.  The majority of the children attending these schools are from families that have had to flee from the violence in the north of the country. 

The Acholi people faced many obstacles when they arrived in Kampala.  School feeding has enabled them to access education and is giving their children the chance of a better future.

Backpack Deliveries
We send containers of donated Backpacks for distribution to the children receiving Mary’s Meals several times a year <<more>>
