Mary’s Meals International sets up school feeding programmes in some of the world’s poorest communities, where poverty and hunger often prevent children from gaining an education. Our idea is a simple one that works. We provide one daily meal in a place of learning to bring children into the classroom, where they receive an education that can be their ladder out of poverty.
Every school day, we reach more than 2.6 million children across 16 countries.
In schools where our meals are served, hunger is reduced, enrolment increases, attendance improves, drop-out rates fall, concentration in lessons is heightened, participation levels increase, communities worry less about children being hungry, and children are happier. Our programmes are owned and run by local communities and thousands of volunteers who share our vision.
Transnational Giving Europe (TGE) is a partnership of leading European foundations and associations that facilitates tax-efficient cross-border giving within Europe. The Network enables donors, both corporations and individuals, resident in one of the participating countries to provide financial support to non-profit organisations in other member countries.
