A video of the Mary’s Meals charity was shown at the SI Bristol business meeting on Monday, 25th July showing how the charity works together with details of various children who have received the food and education given from funds raised which appropriately have improved their lives. Members could see and hear how over one million children now receive a daily meal and some education in Malawi, one of the poorest nations.
Anne Wike who, has recently visited Malawi for the third time, confirmed that 93% of funds donated went toward the charity’s commitments and activities. Similarly, all funds are always held in a bank in Scotland in order to ensure complete control of all monies donated. Anne likewise confirmed she had witnessed for herself the storing and issuing of the backpacks given by Soroptimists to the children to use at their schools. She suggested members might wish to read the book entitled, The Shed Which Fed A Million Children which tells the full story of Mary’s Meals and how it began.
