For every MC meal you enjoy, we donate a school meal to a child in<br>Malawi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without the support of our community and our charity partner, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onefeedstwo.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">One Feeds Two<\/a>, none of this would be possible &#8211; a huge, heartfelt thank you. We were lucky enough to visit Malawi last year and see these school feeding programmes in action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the village chief to volunteer cooks and teachers, everyone we met from the community shared their story and why every meal makes a real difference. For many children, it\u2019s their only meal of the day. So not only do feeding programs tackle hunger head-on, but they also boost school attendance, support long-term education and have the ability to lift communities out of poverty without creating a dependency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/girl-smiling-eating-with-spoon-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/girl-smiling-eating-with-spoon-2-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/girl-smiling-eating-with-spoon-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is phala?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One question we see cropping up a lot is why the children are fed porridge. Locally known as phala, it\u2019s made from a blend of corn and soy, which is then fortified with essential vitamins to support the children\u2019s nutritional requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is it in keeping with the local cuisine, corn and soy are also grown in abundance &#8211; so this benefits local farmers too, helping to support the wider community. The shelf life is long, it\u2019s cost-effective and can be easily cooked in large batches to make the best use of volunteers\u2019 time. Myles and Giles said it tasted delicious too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re proud to announce that together we\u2019ve hit another milestone &#8211; donating 5 million school meals to children living in poverty!
