We spoke with Sister Medhin from our partner organisation in Ethiopia about the toll that years of deadly civil war has taken on the people of Tigray and the crippling hunger – now worse than ever – that children and communities are facing.

The current global hunger crisis is undeniable and in South Sudan – the world’s poorest country – conflict, climate shocks and poor economic conditions have left millions of people in need of food aid. Mary’s Meals is working with local partners and communities to ensure children can receive a meal every school day while they learn. Education cannot wait.

Moycullen-based artist, Sara Kyne, created a portrait exhibition 22 precious people in the charity sector, including our Director, Patricia Friel, who tirelessly and selflessly give of their time, their energy and their passion to change the lives of those they help.
