Mary's Meals works in 18 countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the Caribbean.
In Madagascar, we are now reaching over 9,000 vulnerable children in prison and schools with daily meals through our partners, who provide education and vocational training.
The conditions in prisons in Madagascar are described as appalling and there is no consistent provision of food, so this programme is supporting some of the country’s most vulnerable young people with vital nourishment and a chance to learn.
Our school feeding programme has expanded into Madagascar with support from an Argyll-based organisation, Feedback Madagascar.
