Sponsor A School
Help us reach many more children and give your fundraising a focus by pledging to cover the cost of feeding a whole school.
Why sponsor a specific school?
It’s a great way to give your fundraising a focus while helping to extend our school feeding programmes to more of the world’s poorest children.
Individuals, schools or groups can be matched with a school in Malawi, Liberia, Kenya or Zambia. The fundraising target is set depending on the number of children enrolled at the school you’d like to sponsor, and then it’s over to you!
£13.90 (€15.60/$19.50) x enrolment number = a whole
school WITHOUT HUNGER
It costs just £13.90 (€15.60/$19.50) to feed a child with Mary’s Meals for a whole year, so you might be surprised at how quickly you can raise enough to change the prospects of a whole school.
A two-way link
Sponsor A School supporters receive regular updates on how the children are progressing, as well as having words of their choice painted on a sign on the kitchen wall.
The sign is a daily reminder to the children that the life-changing meal they receive is a gift and that you believe they deserve a prosperous future.
A living memorial for Louise
Louise Black was a successful sales consultant with Scott Dunn, a luxury travel company based in England.
But her life was cut short by a tragic accident.
Friends, family and her colleagues at Scott Dunn chose to commemorate her life by covering the annual cost of feeding every child at a school in Malawi – something they knew Louise would have appreciated.
Simon Russell, Managing Director at Scott Dunn, says, “Sponsoring a school has enabled us to support a project in an area we’re passionate about and where we send a number of guests, and at the same time provide a permanent memorial to a much loved member of our team.”
Teens for Mary’s Meals
When five teenage girls from Santa Barbara in the US learned about Mary's Meals, they made a decision that was to change their lives forever.
Inspired to act after watching Child 31, the teens signed up to Sponsor a School and have since worked tirelessly to raise money to feed more than a 1,000 children for a year. But for Franee Barthel, Kalina Burns, Bella Darke, Brianna Doyle and Angela Penza their work has only just begun.
Kalina says: “Mary's Meals has motivated me to start this amazing journey, and I am so excited to do it with my four friends by my side.”
