SECONDARY schools in Worcestershire can fundraise to feed an entire school of hungry children by signing up for a charity’s life-changing Feed A School scheme.
Mary’s Meals provides meals to more than 3 million children every school day in some of the world’s poorest communities across 16 countries.
The promise of a nutritious meal at school attracts these children into the classroom, where they can gain an education that can be their ladder out of poverty. Yet millions of children still miss out on going to school due to hunger.
Through Feed A School, secondary schools can ensure every pupil at a school in Malawi or Zambia receives a nutritious meal every day for a full school year. The initiative is a transformative way to give hundreds of vulnerable children hope for a better future.
Providing healthy meals for a whole school has a huge impact not only on the children, but also on their families and the wider community.
Claire Benjamin, director of supporter engagement for Mary’s Meals UK, adds: “Choose to Feed A School and you will make a lasting difference to children, their families and their whole communities.
“We serve children in schools of many different sizes, which means Feed A School offers a wide range of fundraising targets to suit every school community.
“Schools can sign up to Feed A School in Malawi or Zambia today and turn a year of school meals into a lifetime of impact.”
