“Even if you have money, there is nothing you can do to prepare something for the children. You can only prepare bread and peanut butter, which is not nourishing. But with the help of Mary’s Meals at school, I no longer have concerns. The children come and tell me about the different types of food they are offered.
“The meal is very important for a child to learn. If they are hungry, they will not be able to learn. If they are hungry, they will only be worried about what they are going to eat. May Mary’s Meals continue to operate so that children can enjoy a meal, and so that when they are learning, they can do so without worries.”
For families in Haiti like Altagrace and Anne, Mary’s Meals is providing a light in the darkness. Our school meals are more than vital nutrition – they also offer safety, routine and hope.
Anne says: “I would like to keep going like this because [Mary’s Meals is] saving a lot of people.”
