With the Mary’s Meals project, we extend a helping hand to children in need of food and practical help. By collecting voluntary donations and choosing to adopt a Malawi school, we expand the concept of hosting. It is no longer just about hosting and making someone happy, but about extending a hand and offering love.
The gesture of ‘lending a hand’ becomes a concrete project that reaches schools and hearts, reaches where there is a need for presence and help. Mary’s Meals is an international non-profit organisation that provides every child with a full meal in schools and educational establishments in the world’s poorest countries. The meal is distributed at school precisely to ensure that the children follow their education instead of working or going out to look for food. The food is bought directly at the places where it is distributed and cooked by volunteers or mothers in order to cut distribution costs. For every Euro we donate, at least 93 cents will go to fund charitable activities. Today, almost 2.5 million meals are distributed daily.
Committing ourselves to this is perhaps the greatest, most useful and rewarding thing you can ask of the world. We assure you that there is nothing, really nothing, more exciting than helping and seeing how this gesture brings happiness to people.
