Help us provide 25 million meals this Christmas
Christmas is a time for compassion, unity, and generosity. This year we invite you to channel that energy into contributing to a big and bold gift: providing 25 million life-changing school meals to children across the world.
Every meal represents a child who can look forward to a nutritious meal in school and the opportunity to learn.
Join supporters around the world as we work together to provide 25 million school meals.
No gift is too small
Together, we can make a life-changing difference for children and their families, one school meal at a time.

25 million opportunities to learn
Providing 25 million school meals may sound ambitious, but the impact behind every meal is profound.
A nutritious meal in a place of education can encourage children into the classroom, support their learning and help them work towards a brighter future. And because Mary's Meals serves each meal for just 10p on average, even a small Christmas gift can make a significant difference.
Together, we can help ensure more children have a meal waiting for them at school and the chance to focus on what matters most: learning.
£5 is enough to provide 50 meals for children in a place of education.
£50 is enough to provide 250 children with the mug or plate for their daily serving of Mary's Meals.
£215 is enough to buy a cooking pot and stove set for a Mary's Meals kitchen.
