Giving Tuesday
Donate now and EVERY gift you give will be matched, tripling your impact.
For every dollar you give, a generous donor will provide two dollars, making your gift 3x as valuable*.
Mary’s Meals feeds almost 2.5 million children EVERY school day in 17 countries.
With your support, we provide life-changing, nutritious school meals to children living in some of the world’s poorest communities. The promise of a good meal attracts these hungry children into the classroom, giving them the energy to learn and hope for a better future.
Today, we need your help more than ever. The perfect storm of conflict and climate driven disasters have catapulted parts of the world into an unprecedented hunger crisis. There are now an estimated 36 million children suffering from acute malnourishment in the world today.
In Haiti, where we feed more than 175,000 children a day, gang violence has left the country facing the worst hunger emergency in the western hemisphere. Half the population, around 5.4 million people, are struggling to feed themselves and their families every day.
In South Sudan, where we feed more than 81,000 children a day, the country is dealing with a humanitarian crisis marked by chronic food insecurity as hundreds of thousands continue to flee into the country from Sudan while the country is faced unprecedented flooding.
In Ethiopia, where we feed more than 110,000 children a day, Tigray is still recovering from a war that took 600,000 lives and left almost a million displaced. There is an ongoing drought meaning farming can’t resume at scale.
Your support is needed to keep the children coming to school for a meal and an education. It costs just $25.20 to feed a child for an entire school year.
No matter how challenging today’s environment may be, with your help there is always hope.
*A generous donor has committed to triple the impact of your donation (up to $10,000) through December 3rd, or until $650,000 in matching donations has been reached.
