In Tigray, Ethiopia, Kidan is rebuilding her life after losing her husband during the conflict that began in 2020.

Now a single mother of three, she faces the daily challenges of poverty and hunger. Yet knowing a nutritious meal is waiting for her children at school each day brings one less worry and more hope for the future.

Kidan’s story shows how school feeding acts as a security for vulnerable families, helping parents rebuild their livelihoods while ensuring their children are healthy, happy and able to learn.

With your support, we can continue reaching children who need us most and bring hope to many more still waiting. Donate today: https://bit.ly/4x3ixz3

"I wanted to use this year to say something I don't think we say often enough: volunteering at Mary's Meals is not only a UK fundraising activity. Volunteering is Mary's Meals, and it always has been."

Read this reflection from Dan McNally, Head of England and Wales at Mary's Meals UK, on the incredible difference volunteers make to Mary's Meals at home and in the countries in which we feed children.

Michael first came across Mary’s Meals when he saw our film Child 31. The story of an 11-year-old girl in the film – Lettie, from Malawi – touched his heart.

He tells us: “That really stayed with me. Because I was also 11. I had food every day, toys, school, and people who loved me. She had none of that. I couldn’t stop thinking about her.”

Since then, Michael has done lots to raise money for Mary’s Meals as one of our young volunteers and fundraisers. He’s raised an incredible £12,831.49 - enough to feed 670 children for a whole school year!
