📢 Chipata, let's show up for our children!

Join us on 16 October for the Run to Katandala as we hit the road to help ensure 1,408 children at Katandala and Kamulaseni Primary Schools can focus on their lessons instead of an empty stomach.

Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or simply in it for a good cause, every step helps bring a nutritious meal and a brighter future closer to a child.

💚 Run for fun.
📚 Run for education.
🍲 Run so no child has to learn hungry.

A child should be thinking about their next lesson, not their next meal.

From learner to leader 💙

“I was a learner at Chisomo Primary School from 2014 to 2016, and I benefitted from the porridge very much. When I was writing my Grade 7 exams, I never worried about what to eat or carry for food because the porridge was already there. All I had to do was focus on studying and writing, and that helped me pass because I could concentrate on my studies.

After completing school, I went to college to study Early Childhood Teaching, and today I am back at Chisomo volunteering my services while I wait for deployment.

I came back because this is my home. I want learners to see that I was once sitting where they are today, and that with hard work they too can complete school, go to college and achieve even more than I have.”

A beneficiary of the school feeding programme herself, Mercy's story is a powerful reminder of how a daily meal in a place of education can help children focus on learning, unlock opportunities and build brighter futures.

Cup of Possibility

There is something powerful about the joy expressed by a learner with a cup of porridge at school.

It may look like a modest meal, but that cup of warm porridge means a learner is more focused in class, ready to learn and energised to being a happy playful carefree child.

When learners are assured of a warm cup of porridge, they learn and attend school consistently.

The Marys Meals school Meals foster better education outcomes such as high attendance rates, high enrolment, increased performance and progression rates. From better education outcomes to stronger communities and ultimately, a more sustainable future for thousands of children.

Sometimes, sustainability starts with something as simple as making sure a learner has the strength to stay in class and learn.A cup of porridge can mean a cup of possibility.

Mothers Ensuring Lasting Impact.

Thousands on warm cups of porridge served by trusted hands. A cup shared with love; it is more than nourishment.

Each breaktime, the cup of porridge gives learners the energy to concentrate, participate and make the most of their time in the classroom.

Behind every warm cup of porridge, are mothers, fathers and community members who volunteers to cook each school day so that thousands of learners can learn without worrying about hunger. They can concentrate on achieving their full potential.

Through the support of thousands of community volunteers, countless children benefit and have the chance to fuel their dreams.

Meet Reuben.

His teachers jokingly call him the "Chief of the Porridge" because of how excited he gets when break time arrives. A title he has happily claimed, because for him, that daily cup of porridge has become a taste of a life full of possibilities and dreams.

A beautiful reminder that behind every cup served is a child with a dream worth investing in. ❤️

Feed Minds, Fuel dreams.

A school meal doesn't just feed a child. It fuels a dream.

At Kamulaseni Primary School, learners are dreaming big about their futures. But every dream needs the opportunity to grow.

For many children, a daily school meal provides the energy to learn, participate in class, and stay focused on achieving their goals. As the Headteacher shares, school feeding has made a significant difference in attendance, participation, and learners' ability to concentrate.

And together we can help ensure that hunger never stands between a child and their future.
