Mary's Meals Zambia

Mary's Meals Zambia We are providing daily school meals to more than 3 million children in 19 countries globally🌍and to more than 700,000 children in Zambia💙

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 one million hungry children every day. In addition to our school feeding project

s, which are very much the core of our work, Mary's Meals also supports a home for HIV-positive young adults - who were abandoned as children - in Romania. 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 £15.90/€18.30/$21. 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 300 million chronically hungry children in the world, our work is just beginning.

Beyond the classroom, school meals form part of a sustainable safety net for families living with unstable incomes. Through the provision of a nutritious meals each school day, families can redirect limited resources towards other long-term needs, such as healthcare, farming, or essential household items like soap.

With the assurance of a daily meal in the place of education, children can concentrate on what matters most: being in class, learning, and building a brighter future.

For over 10 years, we've been serving life-changing school meals to children in Zambia's Eastern Province, where we've seen encouraging progress in education.

Since our programme began, there has been a 22% increase in the percentage of children progressing from primary to secondary school. 📚✨

Although many factors contribute to this achievement, government officials, school administrators and local communities all recognise the important role our school feeding programme has played in helping children stay in school and continue learning.

A daily school meal does more than fill an empty stomach, it helps children learn.

94% of learners across our programme say they concentrate better in class when school meals are served.

When hunger is no longer a distraction, children can focus on their lessons, participate with confidence, and make the most of every opportunity to learn.

Every cup of porridge served is an investment in a child's education, giving them the chance to stay engaged in the classroom and build a brighter future.

Because sometimes the path to a brighter future doesn't begin with grand gestures.

Sometimes it begins with making sure a child can stay seated long enough to learn.

As our International Head of Safeguarding, Julia Kragulj, reminds us how we make an impact is just as important as the impact itself.

This Day of the African Child, let us all reflect on the role we play in protecting children and promoting their rights. Together, we can help create a future where every child is nourished, educated, safeguarded and fuelled to archive their dreams.

- EPISODE 3: A SEED OF POSSIBILITY
For some , the sound of the break-time bell once meant something else entirely. would whisper louder than the teacher’s voice, pulling them away from classrooms and into uncertainty.

Those days, reflects a time when empty stomachs sent learners running away from school, chasing relief instead of knowledge.

But when a becomes certain, the story begins to change slowly, then all at once. The same school that once felt heavy now feels like home.

Hunger no longer interrupts the rhythm of as it fades into the background. Learners can now stay beyond the bell, stretching their time at school, not just their bodies, but their as well.
