a simple solution to world hunger
Who we are
Mary’s Meals Hong Kong is a Hong Kong charity that exists to support the good work of Mary’s Meals International.
We raise funds locally from the people of Hong Kong and send those funds to Mary’s Meals International where they are used to pay for the provision of nutritious meals in an educational setting in some of the world’s poorest communities. The provision of daily school meals has a profoundly positive impact on the lives of the children in those communities. Just HKD195 pays for the annual school feeding cost for one child.
Note about Mary’s Meals Hong Kong administrative costs: Mary’s Meals Hong Kong is able to remit 100% of all funds received to Mary’s Meals International thanks to a “Foundational Gift” provided by Mary’s Meals Hong Kong’s founders which covers the administrative costs of Mary’s Meals Hong Kong. All the volunteers who support Mary’s Meals Hong Kong (including directors) do so on a purely voluntary basis and receive no remuneration of any kind.
