Mary’s Meals feeds more than 1.5 million children in 18 countries every day at school.
This October, we’re celebrating the life-changing power of porridge, which is served in classrooms across Liberia, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Each nutritious mug of Mary’s Meals porridge served helps hungry children make the most of their education by giving them the energy to concentrate and learn.
To celebrate World Porridge Day and help us feed more children every school day, you can:
Host a Porridge Party: Invite friends, family, classmates or colleagues to a celebration of all things oaty this October and help raise funds to help children in some of the world’s poorest communities.
