What we do
Mary’s Meals serves nutritious school meals to children living in some of the world’s poorest countries. The promise of a good meal attracts these hungry children into the classroom, giving them the energy to learn and hope for a better future.
We are already feeding more than two million children every school day – and, together, we can reach the next hungry child waiting for Mary’s Meals.

We're now feeding 2,279,941 children every school day.
But more than 64 million primary school-age children are out of school around the world. In order to survive, they have to work or beg. Even if they do make it into the classroom, hunger affects their ability to learn.

Mary's Meals works in 20 countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the Caribbean. Learn more about our school-feeding programmes and the challenges faced by the communities we serve.
