Mary’s Meals provides daily meals in a primary school in Ndola.  We began this project in 2007.

School Feeding
Mary’s Meals provides daily meals to over 200 children attending a primary school in Kamafwesa village.  As in neighbouring Malawi, children here receive a maize-meal porridge each school day.   The benefits of school feeding are clear to the teachers at the school,

“Thanks to Mary’s Meals feeding scheme, the class attendance is now 100%. The children no longer sleep in class and their participation has greatly improved. Thank you so much, the feeding scheme has had a huge impact on the children.”
