Mary's Meals

The Daily Telegraph has a piece on the Scottish charity, Mary's Meals, which provides 350,000 school meals for children every day. The cost per child seems to be as little as £8.50 per year- for UK parents, that's less than a week's worth of school dinners.
Headed by Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, father of six, Mary's Meals does not conform to any known business model, (how refreshing-a charity that is a charity, not a business), and...wait for it...doesn't do targets!
Definitely sounds like my kind of charity.

    Too Right, Annie, I'm hoping my Parish youth group will take it on, as a Lenten charity.
