Dear Bill,
Last year, 400,883,000 meals were served to hungry children thanks to support from people like you. We truly couldn’t do what we do without you, and we’d love to share how you’re making a true difference to the lives of children like Gugulethu.
Gugulethu used to attend her school in Zimbabwe only three days a week. Her grandmother kept her at home because she feared hunger would cause her to fall asleep in class. But today, access to a consistent school meal is helping Gugulethu change her story.
A daily serving of Mary’s Meals porridge not only provides essential nutrients, but it also improves her focus and gives her energy to learn and participate in class. And regular attendance is helping to improve her grades, too.
“I come to school every day now because I know I will have something to eat,” she explains. “I can listen to my teacher and concentrate because my tummy isn’t rumbling.”
It’s incredible to hear stories like Gugulethu’s, a young girl who was missing out on an education because of hunger but is now top of the class. In my role as Executive Director of Mary’s Meals UK, it brings me so much joy to know that – with your support and generosity – our work has led to real positive change for millions of children over the last year. I’m delighted to share your 2025 Impact Report, which highlights just how much of a difference we’ve made together.
Whether you’ve donated, fundraised, volunteered or prayed for our work, thank you as always Bill, for your wonderful support. It all makes a difference and truly means the world to us and the children we feed.
