Abstract
Public donations made to Mary’s Meals will be doubled by the UK Government, up to the value of £2m, to help fight hunger in Liberia with ‘life-changing’ school meals.

The appeal aims to help families in Liberia where hunger prevents children from attending school as more than half of children drop out of school before they finish their primary school education.

Eight-year-old Massa, who walks forty minutes to Volkor Public School in Liberia, told Mary’s Meals: “Sometimes there is nothing for me to eat at home before I go to school, and I feel so hungry.

“The food I eat at school makes me feel good and happy, and helps me to concentrate in class. It also helps my mother as she finds it hard to find food for us all to eat.”  

The Double The Love campaign is aiming to transform the lives of more than 43,000 hungry children in Liberia. If you are interested in donating, visit: https://giving.marysmeals.org/en_gb/email-donate-5.
