DescMary's Meals International is a successful global movement that transforms the lives of children with a daily meal in a place of education in 16 of the world's poorest countries. Working collaboratively with local communities, Mary's Meals International establishes school feeding programs that draw children to schools, where they can receive an education that can be a path out of poverty. The Mary's Meals International program supports children but also has a positive impact on their households and communities.Sourcing food locally whenever possible, Mary's Meals International operates in some of the world's poorest, and most remote or conflict-ridden communities. The collaborative Mary's Meals school feeding program is particularly efficient and (cont'd on page 41) scalable, providing a cost-effective model that is a sustainable means to end child hunger. Mary's Meals USA provides grants to Mary's Meals International to fund the school feeding programs. In 2025, Mary's Meals USA marked 16 years of supporting Mary's Meals International's global feeding initiatives. While ensuring that 3 million children receive a nutritious meal every day in a place of education, Mary's Meals International also achieved some major milestones in its mission to fight child hunger and enable education. In the fall of 2025, our global school feeding programs reached 3 million children every school day, and we had the largest single year of growth in the history of our programs, driven by ambitious expansion plans. This was made possible thanks to grassroots giving, campaign appeals, volunteers and supporters worldwide.Across eight countries, programs were scaled up in Ethiopia, Haiti, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, South Sudan, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, to reach more than 650,000 additional children in over 1,300 schools. These expansions were essential in areas affected by hunger and disrupted education due to conflict, climate extremes, and political or economic instability. Additionally, an emergency appeal for drought affected Southern Africa, helped Mary's Meals to expand its school feeding programs across Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, which now sits at more than 2.1 million children. Following significant changes in Kenya, including government-led school feeding initiatives extending their reach and increased support from the Turkana County Government, a decision was made in 2025 to deliver our school feeding program entirely through our trusted local partner, Diocese of Lodwar. To support this transition, Diocese of Lodwar increased the number of Early Childhood Development and Education Centers (ECDEs) in Turkana where it delivers our school feeding program, to reach learners that were previously served by Mary's Meals Kenya. Additionally, Mary's Meals received significant global attention in 2025. In February, Founder and CEO Magnus MacFarlane Barrow was invited to speak at the Vatican's inaugural World Leaders Summit on Children's Rights in Rome. In April, the organization's documentary On the Frontlines of Hunger premiered at the Sarasota (FL) Film Festival and was later screened at Westminster and London's Frontline Club as part of the 40th anniversary of Live Aid, amplifying the voices of communities in Tigray, Ethiopia affected by conflict and climate shocks.Mary's Meals received an official invitation to participate in activities during the Youth Jubilee in Rome in the summer. A prayer vigil presided over by Pope Leo XIV at Tor Vergata was a highlight, with Mary's Meals Youth Ambassadors presenting our work to the vast crowd ahead of the Pope's appearance. Three well-known Catholic singers also performed live on stage as Mary's Meals representatives. Mary's Meals International school feeding model continues to be an effective solution for addressing global hunger as highlighted in our annual Impact Reports, which can be found on our website, www.marysmealsusa.org . Throughout 2024, Mary's Meals tracked child-focused indicators in the four program countries where the organization directly implements school feeding Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, and Zambia. Across these four countries, Mary's Meals surveyed teachers and children about the impacts of daily school meals on reducing hunger, as well as improving school attendance, participation, and progression through school.Key findings from the study demonstrate the positive impact of the Mary's Meals International school feeding program: Across our expanded programs, school meals increased enrollment by 10%. The average monthly school attendance was 89% 98% of children reported improved concentration after eating a school meal. Over the course of the year, we served more than 400,883,000 meals across 91% of school days, while achieving gender parity for another consecutive year. 100% of teachers stated that the school feeding program has had a positive impact on the quality of education this year, including improvements in attendance, participation, focus and lesson retention, pass rate, and a reduction in sickness and absenteeism. New in the 2024 Impact Report was the addition of data collected from children and teachers to understand program effects in post conflict settings. The study found that reintroducing school feeding in post-conflict Tigray, Ethiopia, strengthened routines, social interaction, and classroom participation, while fostering more peaceful settings.The positive impact of feeding children in a place of learning has also been recognized by the United Nations. In 2023, the United Nations added school meals as an official indicator under Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education, signaling global recognition of school meals as a key intervention to improve access to education and effective learning environments for children.Mary's Meals International works in countries that faced a variety of significant issues including conflict, the effects of climate change and increasing costs of food. Combined, these challenges negatively impact local communities and children in particular. The work of Mary's Meals International demonstrates the organization's commitment to providing services where they are needed most. Mary's Meals USA remains thankful for the support received from donors in the United States, which enables the Mary's Meals International programs that are transformative for the children, their families and their local communities.Desc

DescMary's Meals USA also focuses on education and awareness raising programs in the US on the impact of child hunger and the importance of school feeding programs. This awareness-raising program portion of the work allows the opportunity for more US volunteers to join Mary's Meals and become advocates for children in poverty. Staff and volunteers visit schools, groups, and organizations to give presentations about the work of Mary's Meals. Mary's Meals USA provides documentary films, brochures, and other materials to support these efforts. Regular emails and letters are sent to those who have requested updates so the information can be shared in their communities.Over the course of 2025, (cont'd on page 43) some of Mary's Meals USA awareness activities included: The 12th Annual Race to Feed Children in Des Moines, IA Annual Concerts to Benefit Mary's Meals in Iowa & Missouri Annual Summer Concert Series across multiple Iowa sites by performer Steve Angrisano Founder, Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow spoke in Kentucky and Ohio, with events that included accompanying activities to engage a wider audience in the mission.
