Mary’s Meals Provides Daily Lunch for African Children.
Imagine for a moment that you are very, very hungry and your tummy is rumbling. You want to concentrate on your school work, but all you can think about is your tummy as it gurgles and groans that it hasn’t been fed all day. It would be hard to concentrate on your school work, wouldn’t it?
Not all children around the world are lucky enough to have access to enough money to eat well every day. Sometimes people from the countries with more money have to help them out by collecting money for them to be able to eat.
Mary’s Meals Feed Children Every Day At School
Mary’s Meals is one of these types of organisations. They are a charity who provides food to children who have to live with hunger and poverty. Every day they ensure that children get fed at lunchtime at their school. This is good in many ways. Not only does it mean that the children will eat but it also means that they need to go to school to eat, so they will get an education to take them out of poverty.
Education is important. Without it, it makes it hard to get a job or to know how to make money to buy things like food and shelter/a house.
Mary’s Meals started out by feeding 200 children in the African country of Malawi. They have grown in size so that they now feed over 600,000 children every day in 16 different countries.
It costs just £10.70 to feed a child for a whole school year. That isn’t a whole lot of money; some children get that every month for pocket money in Great Britain.
There are more than 300 million children in the world who are very, very hungry, so Mary’s Meals are doing a good job for them.
