THESE GRANTS MAINLY SUPPORTED PROGRAMS IN MALAWI, LIBERIA AND HAITI. IN MALAWI AND LIBERIA, MARY'S MEALS DIRECTLY DISTRIBUTES THE FOOD TO EACH SCHOOL AS WELL AS MONITORS THE FEEDING PROGRAMS THERE. MALAWI REMAINS ONE OF THE POOREST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD AND FACES HUGE CHALLENGES IN EDUCATION AND CHILD NUTRITION. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING GRANTS FOR THE GENERAL FEEDING PROGRAM IN MALAWI, DONORS DESIGNATED FUNDS FOR 7 PERMANENT KITCHENS AT EXISTING SCHOOLS WHERE VOLUNTEERS CAN SAFELY PREPARE THE DAILY MEAL FOR THE CHILDREN USING ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ROCKET STOVES OR INSTITUTIONAL BRICK STOVES. ALSO IN MALAWI, DONORS DESIGNATED FUNDS FOR 23 NEW FEEDINGS AT SPONSORED SCHOOLS AND CONTINUED SPONSORING 11 FEEDINGS AT SPONSORED SCHOOLS. THE MEAL IS USUALLY LIKUNI PHALA (HOT PORRIDGE FORTIFIED WITH VITAMINS AND MINERALS) GROWN LOCALLY WHEN POSSIBLE. LIBERIA HAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST RATES OF OUT-OF-SCHOOL CHILDREN IN THE WORLD - MORE THAN 40%. ENROLLMENT RATES HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO INCREASE WHEREVER THE CHARITY BEGINS FEEDING. DURING THE 2014 EBOLA CRISIS MARY'S MEALS INTERNATIONAL STAYED IN THE COUNTRY DELIVERING FOOD AID TO THOUSANDS OF AFFECTED PEOPLE, INCLUDING PARENTS INFECTED WITH THE VIRUS. MANY OF THE SCHOOLS ARE IN REMOTE LOCATIONS, DEEP IN THE RAINFOREST AND ONLY ACCESSIBLE BY DIRT ROADS. IN ADDITION TO GRANTS FOR GENERAL FEEDING, US SPONSORS DESIGNATED FUNDS FOR FEEDINGS AT 12 SPONSORED SCHOOLS AND CONTINUED SPONSORING 3 FEEDINGS AT SPONSORED SCHOOLS. THE MEAL THERE CONSISTS OF CORN SOYA BLEND PORRIDGE TWICE A WEEK AND A RICE MEAL THREE DAYS A WEEK. THESE MEALS ARE SUPPLEMENTED WITH FRESH VEGETABLES FROM THEIR COMMUNITY SCHOOL GARDENS. THIS ALSO TEACHES THE CHILDREN ABOUT AGRICULTURE. TYPICAL CROPS ARE POTATO GREENS, CASSAVA, PEPPER, BITTERBALL AND CABBAGE. IN 2014, THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN BEING FED BY MARY'S MEALS INTERNATIONAL INCREASED TO 989,791 FROM 869,192 IN 2013. 127209 EDUCATION AND AWARENESS IN THE US OF CHILD HUNGER IN THE WORLD'S POOREST COUNTRIES IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR US ACTIVITIES.
