MARY’S MEALS: FEED A SCHOOL PROJECT

Dear Bill,

Could 2026 be the year you change the future for an entire school?

My name is Claire, and I lead the Supporter Engagement team at Mary’s Meals. I’m delighted to share some exciting news about Feed A School – an amazing opportunity for you and your community to provide nutritious, life-changing meals to an entire school in Malawi or Zambia for a whole year, transforming the future for hundreds of hungry children. 

It costs Mary’s Meals just 10p a day to provide a child with a nutritious school meal, so feeding an entire school for a year is more achievable than you think. Whether you choose to fundraise together with a group of people, or donate as an individual, Feed A School is a powerful way to create lasting change for children in some of the world’s poorest communities.

How to Feed A School

1. Read our complete guide to Feed A School online. Select a school in Malawi or Zambia from our list. Fundraising targets start from £3,000 per year.

2. Create a fundraising plan or set up a regular gift to reach your target.

3. Get updates throughout the year with our dedicated emails.

4. Achieve your target and change futures! Receive a report from your chosen school, giving you a real sense of connection to your school and the children you are helping.

Your fundraising journey

If you choose to fundraise for your school, you won’t be doing it alone. We’ll be there to support you throughout your fundraising year – and you’ll be joining others up and down the country who agree that in this world of plenty, no child should miss school because they are too hungry to learn.

Congregation members from St Margaret Clitherow Parish in Rochdale have already supported schools in Malawi and Zambia, raising money from everything from raffles to a World Cup sweepstake. Parish priest, Father Simon, tells us:

“It’s a meaningful way to have fun and connect with others, while helping to make a lasting impact to the lives of children in some of the world’s poorest communities.”

The power of porridge

Your support can bring hope to more children like Sean, a 12-year-old pupil at Mbayani Primary School in Malawi. Hunger is a daily struggle for Sean and his classmates, but with Mary’s Meals, they have a chance at a brighter future. He says:  

“Mostly there is no money, and we don’t eat at home, but I know I will get porridge at school. I am happy at school and I want to be a scientist. Porridge will help me take the next steps.”

Choose to Feed A School, and you will make a lasting difference to children, their families and their whole communities. Sign up to Feed A School today and turn a year of school meals into a lifetime of impact.
