Mary's Meals Mary’s Meals provides nutritious school meals to over 3 million children in 16 countries every school day 💙 Our idea is a simple one that works.

We provide one daily meal in a place of education in order to attract chronically hungry children into a classroom, where they receive an education that can, in the future, be their ladder out of poverty. Mary's Meals began by feeding 200 children in Malawi. Today we feed more than 3 million hungry children every day. Our work is named after Mary, the mother of Jesus, who brought up her child in poverty. We consist of, we respect and we reach out to people of all faiths and none. The average worldwide cost for us to feed a child for a whole school year is just £19.15/ €22.00/ $25.20 (USD). Wherever possible, Mary's Meals uses locally grown food to support the local economy. We work hard to keep our running costs low and to ensure that at least 93 percent of donations go on our charitable work. This is only possible since most of our work is done by an army of volunteers. With 67 million children of primary school age (about 6 to 11 years) out of school, our work is just beginning.

💙 What happens when school meals arrive in a community?

At Thunga Primary School in Malawi, the introduction of Mary's Meals has helped more children attend school and make the most of their education.

Yet families continue to face huge challenges, with economic pressures and climate-related shocks affecting communities across the region.

That's why we're aiming to provide 25 million life-changing school meals this Christmas.

💙 This World Food Day, we're reflecting on the difference a school meal can make.

In Rise: A Liberian Story, we hear from children, families and communities in Liberia about the challenges they face and the opportunities that become possible when children can receive a nutritious meal in a place of education.

It's a powerful reminder that food is about more than nourishment. It can help children attend school, focus on learning and work towards brighter futures. 🌍📚

September was a month of celebrating the partners who make our work possible at Mary's Meals Canada. 💛

At the end of the month, our founder Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow and Keli Marshall, our Director of Strategic Initiatives, visited the Osmow's office for a lunch and Q&A. Magnus presented the team with a five-year commemorative plaque, thanking them for their commitment to Mary's Meals since 2021. In that time, Osmow's support has provided more than 1.6 million meals to over 8,500 children.

That same week, we hosted an evening with celebrity chef Imrun Texeira, who created dishes inspired by ingredients from countries where Mary's Meals operates. Thanks to the support of Clarins, Osmow's and Q for Quinn the event raised over $25,000 CAD, enough to feed 788 children for an entire year.

Thank you to our partners and to the Mary's Meals Canada team for your tireless work for the children we serve.
