The current situation in Ethiopia is dire. A combination of drought, displacement, and brutal conflict has left huge areas of the country in crisis. The Tigray region, where Mary’s Meals works, is one of the worst affected. Having lived through the atrocities of the Tigray war, millions of Ethiopians are now facing emergency levels of food insecurity and hunger. The war has undone years of progress in Tigray’s education system. For now, there is an urgent dual priority – ensuring that children in Tigray have food and boosting their chances of engaging with education again.

Mary’s Meals in Tigray, Ethiopia
In recent months, many children have been able to return to school. Working with our dedicated local partner, we have now fully reinstated the Mary’s Meals school feeding programme across Tigray, which is a lifeline to children living in poverty in these challenging days.
Crisis in Ethiopia emergency appeal
Our partner is ready and waiting to extend the programme to more schools, in areas of great need across the region. We will work together to reach as many more children as possible with daily meals in school over the coming weeks and months.
