THESE MEALS SERVED BY VOLUNTEERS AT SCHOOLS REDUCE HUNGER AMONG CHILDREN, INCREASE SCHOOL ENROLLMENT LEVELS, IMPROVE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AND HELP TO ELIMINATE ABSENCES ATTRIBUTED TO HUNGER. THE CONSISTENT MEALS FOR CHILDREN REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL, INCREASE FEELINGS OF HAPPINESS AT SCHOOL AND DECREASE LEVELS OF ANXIETY DUE TO HUNGER. THE RESEARCH OBSERVED AN INCREASED SUPPORT FOR EDUCATION AMONG VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES. THROUGHOUT 2019, MMI WELCOMED 266,016 CHILDREN AT 792 PLACES OF EDUCATION INTO THEIR GLOBAL PROGRAMS, GROWTH OF 19% COMPARED TO THE START OF THE YEAR, MEANING THAT WE ARE NOW REACHING A TOTAL OF 1,667,067 CHILDREN IN 18 COUNTRIES.IN MARCH 2019, HEAVY RAINS AND CYCLONE IDAI CAUSED WIDESPREAD FLOODING WHICH RESULTED IN DEVASTATION ACROSS MALAWI, INCLUDING CROP DAMAGE, LIVESTOCK DEATHS, INFRASTRUCTURAL DAMAGE, DISPLACEMENT, AND SOME LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE. THE FLOODS HIT AREAS WITH VERY LIMITED RESILIENCE TO EXTREME WEATHER. MOST OF THE AFFECTED PEOPLE ARE THE FAMILIES OF SMALLHOLDER FARMERS, WHO ALREADY STRUGGLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET. IN THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH OF THE FLOODS, MMI WORKED WITH COMMUNITIES TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE TO SCHOOLS AND WORK OUT THE BEST WAY TO HELP. IN ADDITION TO KEEPING OUR PROMISE TO CHILDREN BEING SUPPORTED BY THE EXISTING SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM, MMI PROVIDED MEALS TWICE A DAY TO FAMILIES IN SOUTHERN MALAWI WHO WERE FORCED TO TAKE SHELTER IN SCHOOLS AFTER LOSING THEIR HOMES IN THE FLOODS. STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS WORKED TIRELESSLY TO DELIVER THIS EMERGENCY FEEDING FOR A PERIOD OF 68 DAYS FOLLOWING THE INITIAL FLOODING IN MARCH. IN TOTAL, MORE THAN 35,000 KILOGRAMS OF FOOD WERE PROVIDED TO FAMILIES AT 23 SCHOOLS IN SOUTHERN MALAWI. THE MEALS HELPED TO SUPPORT HUNGRY CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES WHILE THEY RECOVERED FROM THE DISASTER AND ENCOURAGED CHILDREN TO CONTINUE ATTENDING SCHOOL EVEN IN SUCH DIFFICULT TIMES.IN 2019 WE WERE PROUD TO CELEBRATE THE GRADUATION OF VERONICA, ONE OF THE FIRST CHILDREN TO RECEIVE MARY'S MEALS IN 2002, WHO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED HER BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN EDUCATION AND BUSINESS STUDIES. THANKS TO YOUR SUPPORT, YOUNG CHILDREN IN MALAWI ARE BEING HELPED TO ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AND FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF VERONICA.IN ZAMBIA, FOLLOWING ON FROM 2018 WHEN MMI DOUBLED THE SIZE OF THEIR PROGRAM, THEY EXPANDED THE PROGRAM THREE TIMES DURING 2019, WELCOMING AN ADDITIONAL 72,119 CHILDREN. THIS MEANS THAT MARY'S MEALS IS NOW BEING SERVED TO 191,434 CHILDREN AT 366 PLACES OF EDUCATION ACROSS SIX DISTRICTS WITHIN ZAMBIA'S EASTERN PROVINCE: CHIPATA, MAMBWE, KASENENGWA, CHIPANGALI, LUMEZI AND LUNDAZI.IN ZIMBABWE, MMI EXPANDED THEIR PROGRAM TWICE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CHILDCARE MINISTRIES WHICH ENABLED THEM TO REACH OUT TO AN ADDITIONAL 14,828 CHILDREN. MMI IS NOW DELIVERING THE SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM TO 34,616 CHILDREN ACROSS 88 SCHOOLS IN THE RURAL TSHOLOTSHO AND UMZINGWANE DISTRICTS, WHICH HAS HIGH LEVELS OF FOOD INSECURITY.IN KENYA, MMI CONTINUED TO KEEP OUR PROMISE TO CHILDREN ATTENDING 25 PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN THE KISII AND UASIN GISHU COUNTIES IN WESTERN KENYA, PROVIDING THEM WITH A NUTRITIOUS MEAL OF MAIZE SERVED WITH BEANS AND OIL FORTIFIED WITH VITAMIN A AND IODIZED SALT. MMI ALSO EXPANDED THEIR FEEDING PROGRAM FOR PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN ATTENDING ECD CENTERS IN THE SEMI-ARID TURKANA COUNTY. OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, MARY'S MEALS KENYA CARRIED OUT FIVE EXPANSIONS, ENABLING TENS OF THOUSANDS MORE YOUNG CHILDREN TO RECEIVE LIFE-SAVING DAILY MEALS. IN TOTAL, MMI IS NOW PROVIDING A DAILY MEAL TO 71,974 CHILDREN IN 379 PLACES OF EDUCATION ACROSS THE COUNTRY.WE ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT MMI IS NOW FEEDING A TOTAL OF 158,015 CHILDREN IN 623 SCHOOLS ACROSS LIBERIA. IN SEPTEMBER, MMI CARRIED OUT THE LARGEST SINGLE EXPANSION OF THEIR PROGRAMS IN 2019 IN THREE COUNTIES IN LIBERIA. 137 SCHOOLS ACROSS THE BONG, MONTSERRADO AND BOMI COUNTIES BEGAN SERVING MARY'S MEALS, REACHING 37,561 CHILDREN IN DESPERATE NEED OF MARY'S MEALS EVERY SCHOOL DAY.IN ETHIOPIA, WHERE AN ESTIMATED 2.3 MILLION PRIMARY SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN REMAIN OUT OF SCHOOL, MMI TRIPLED THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN THEY REACH EVERY DAY THROUGHOUT 2019, AND ARE NOW SUPPORTING 24,320 VULNERABLE CHILDREN AT SCHOOLS IN THE TIGRAY REGION.MARY'S MEALS IS ONE OF VERY FEW ORGANIZATIONS CONSISTENTLY PROVIDING FOOD TO CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS IN SOUTH SUDAN. THE ONGOING CONFLICT THERE IS DISRUPTING LIVELIHOODS AND AFFECTING FOOD PRODUCTION, WHICH HAS CAUSED A HUMANITARIAN CATASTROPHE. THE NEED FOR MARY'S MEALS SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM IN SUCH A DESPERATE SITUATION IS IMMENSE. MMI HAS BEEN WORKING IN THE LAKES STATE AREA OF SOUTH SUDAN SINCE 2008 WITH THEIR PARTNER, THE DIOCESE OF RUMBEK. THIS PROGRAM CARRIES ON DESPITE CONSIDERABLE OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES AND MMI IS OVERCOMING EXTREME CHALLENGES TO GET FOOD THROUGH TO THE SCHOOLS. DURING 2019, MMI WAS ABLE TO REACH OUT TO AN ADDITIONAL 15,600 CHILDREN IN SOUTH SUDAN, THEREBY INCREASING THE SIZE OF THIS PROGRAM BY MORE THAN 60%. OUR FOUNDER AND CEO OF MMI, MAGNUS MACFARLANE-BARROW, HAD HIS FIRST VISIT TO THESE SCHOOLS RECEIVING MARY'S MEALS IN SOUTH SUDAN. DURING HIS TRIP, HE WITNESSED THE WONDERFUL SIGHTS OF CHILDREN RECEIVING NUTRITIOUS FOOD AND SINGING SONGS THEY'VE WRITTEN FOR MARY'S MEALS. REFLECTING ON HIS VISIT, MAGNUS SAID: "IN EVERY SCHOOL, THE IMPACT IS SO OBVIOUS; SO CLEAR THAT THIS IS TRANSFORMING THINGS HERE. YOU HEAR IT EVERYWHERE YOU GO, HOW PEOPLE SEE THIS AS THIS INCREDIBLE SIGN OF HOPE. AND THAT'S WHAT I TAKE HOME MORE THAN ANYTHING JUST THE HOPE THAT THIS WORK OF MARY'S MEALS IS BRINGING TO SOUTH SUDAN IS JUST SO, SO IMPORTANT FOR THIS COUNTRY."SINCE MMI LAUNCHED THEIR SPECIAL FEEDING PROGRAM IN MADAGASCAR IN 2018, MEALS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOR 299 VULNERABLE CHILDREN IN FOUR PRISONS IN DIEGO-SUAREZ AND JOFFREVILLE IN THE DIANA REGION AND ANTANANARIVO AND D'AMBOHITRATIMO IN THE ANALAMANGA REGION. THESE CHILD PRISONERS FACE TERRIBLE CONDITIONS. SOME OF THEM ARE AS YOUNG AS EIGHT YEARS OLD AND MORE THAN 80% OF THEM ARE STILL AWAITING TRIAL. THE TERRIBLE, LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS OF PRISONS IN MADAGASCAR HAVE PROMPTED THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE TO EXPRESS CONCERN ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN THE PAST. MMI WORKS CLOSELY WITH THEIR PARTNER, GRANDIR DIGNEMENT, TO SERVE DAILY MEALS, PROVIDING HOPE IN PLACES OF EDUCATION WITHIN THE PRISONS. TUTORS WORK WITH THE CHILDREN FROM MONDAY TO SATURDAY, TEACHING LITERACY, NUMERACY AND VOCATIONAL SKILLS. WE WERE ALSO DELIGHTED THAT MMI BEGAN FEEDING IN SCHOOLS IN MADAGASCAR DURING 2019 THANKS TO THEIR NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT HAS BEEN SUPPORTING SOME OF THE POOREST COMMUNITIES IN THE COUNTRY FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS, FEEDBACK MADAGASCAR. IN NOVEMBER, MMI INTRODUCED THIS FEEDING PROGRAM AT 68 SCHOOLS ACROSS THREE RURAL AREAS, AMORON'I MANIA AND HAUTE MATSIATRA IN CENTRAL MADAGASCAR AND VATOVAVY-FITOVINANY IN SOUTHEAST MADAGASCAR, REACHING 10,790 CHILDREN.IN HAITI, MMI WAS ABLE TO EXPAND THEIR PROGRAM WITH THEIR NEW PARTNER IN HAITI, BUREAU DE NUTRITION ET DEVELOPPEMENT (BND), WHICH HAS BEEN OPERATING IN HAITI FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS. THANKS TO THIS NEW PARTNERSHIP, MMI WAS ABLE TO BEGIN DELIVERING THE SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM IN 77 SCHOOLS IN THE OUEST DEPARTMENT, IN THE PORT-AU-PRINCE AREA, AND THE CENTRE DEPARTMENT. MMI WORKS WITH A TOTAL OF FOUR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS IN HAITI TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE REACHING SOME OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST MARGINALIZED CHILDREN. TOGETHER, MMI IS SERVING MARY'S MEALS TO 52,314 CHILDREN, HELPING REDUCE HUNGER AND IMPROVING ACCESS TO EDUCATION. WE WERE ALSO HAPPY THAT MMI EXPANDED THE SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM IN INDIA, WITH THEIR LONGSTANDING PARTNER BREAD, THROUGH FOUR EXPANSIONS IN 2019. AS A RESULT OF THIS, MMI WAS ABLE TO REACH OUT TO AN ADDITIONAL 18,958 CHILDREN ACROSS 48 EDUCATION CENTERS IN THE JARKHAND AND BIHAR STATES. MMI IS NOW PROVIDING DAILY NUTRITIOUS MEALS TO A TOTAL OF 42,670 CHILDREN IN INDIA AT 101 PLACES OF EDUCATION, AN INCREDIBLE ACHIEVEMENT.MMI'S PROGRAM IN SYRIA, ALSO GREW IN 2019, WHICH STARTED FEEDING AT FIVE NEW PLACES OF EDUCATION, PROVIDING MEALS FOR 1,318 CHILDREN IN DESPERATE NEED OF MARY'S MEALS. WORKING WITH THEIR PARTNER, DORCAS, MMI IS NOW REACHING 4,403 CHILDREN IN 13 SCHOOLS ACROSS THE CITY OF ALEPPO. DUE TO FREQUENT BOMBING AND THE ESCALATION OF CONFLICT IN NORTH WESTERN SYRIA, ALEPPO IS CURRENTLY WITNESSING A DIRE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION. TO OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES OF WORKING IN A CITY THAT HAS BEEN HEAVILY DAMAGED BY CONFLICT, VOLUNTEERS PREPARE ALL THE MEALS IN ONE SCHOOL, WHICH HAS RELIABLE ACCESS TO WATER AND ELECTRICITY. THE FOOD IS THEN DELIVERED TO OTHER SCHOOLS ACROSS THE CITY. THIS MODEL IS WORKING WELL AND HELPS TO KEEP THE PROMISE OF PROVIDING MARY'S MEALS TO THE CHILDREN THERE. 540256 MARY'S MEALS USA ALSO FOCUSES ON EDUCATION AND AWARENESS RAISING PROGRAMS IN THE U.S. ON THE IMPACT OF CHILD HUNGER AND THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMS.
