Walk for Mary's Meals!

About Mary’s Meals

Mary’s Meals is a global movement that runs school feeding programmes in some of the world’s poorest communities, where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education. These nutritious meals bring children into the classroom, and help them to make the most of their schooling, which can ultimately be their ladder out of poverty.


We are currently feeding 2,429,182 children in 16 countries round the world. Remarkably, thanks to our low-cost model and the work of thousands of volunteers, it costs just £19.15 to feed a child for a whole school year. Find out more at www.marysmeals.org.uk


Why walk for Mary’s Meals?

Our vision is that every child receives one daily meal in their place of education and that all those who have more than they need, share with those who lack even the most basic things. We believe that lots of little acts of love, including your walk, can change children’s lives.
