We are only 950€ short to start our first soup kitchen.

Please note our new account number for Mary′s Meals Portugal.

A Associa??o Mary′s Meals Portugal tem uma nova conta bancária. Faltam-nos apenas 950€ para podermos abrir o nosso primeiro refeitório.

For every Euro you give to us, we spend a minimum of 93% on our charitable activities.

As an organisation working in some of the world’s poorest communities, we’re committed to keeping our running costs low to maximise the good we can do with the donations entrusted to us.

This is only possible because most of our work is done by an army of volunteers in our fundraising countries and in the communities where we work, who carry out lots of little acts of love on our behalf of Mary′s Meals

The aims of Mary's Meals

The charity's constitution sets out the focus of our charitable activities as:

To provide a daily meal, in a place of education, for children in the world’s poorest communities.

To provide relief for those suffering, in any part of the world, as a result of humanitarian crises or poverty; to help people escape poverty; and to provide care for orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children.

To raise awareness in Portugal and worldwide of poverty issues through education.

We are dedicated to our commitment to spend at least 93% of all funds received on these charitable activities.

Where your money goes

We have consistently exceeded our commitment to spend at least 93 cents of every Euro on our charitable activities. You can find more details on how we spend your donations in our annual reports.
