The Scottish charity’s Feed Our Future campaign was selected for the Department for International Development’s (DFID) UK Aid Match scheme, which matches public donations pound for pound.
The campaign originally hoped to raise £1.5m during the last three months of 2015 but supporters across the UK boosted its coffers to £5 million, which the UK Government scheme doubled by adding £5 million.
Mary’s Meals, named after Our Lady and originally founded at Dalmally, funds school feeding programmes in underdeveloped countries and this week launched a programme in the Middle East to help Lebanese children and Syrian refugees in that country.
