Mary's Meals
Mary's Meals is a charitable school feeding organization that provides daily meals to children in some of the world’s poorest communities. Its programs operate across 16 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East, where a meal at school can help children attend, focus, and take part in class. The organization says it serves more than 2.4 million children each day, funding its work through donations and relying on volunteers and regular supporters to sustain and expand its programs.
