The Shed That Fed a Million Children

The Shed That Fed A Million Children is in its Updated edition, expanding the influential story of Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, a quiet fish farmer from Argyll, Scotland, who became the international CEO of Mary’s Meals, a global school-feeding charity. In the original narrative, Mary’s Meals was feeding a million children daily in some of the world’s poorest countries; six years later, more than 2 million children receive meals at school. This edition adds a new chapter, a preface and an epilogue, bringing the journey up-to-date and showing how the movement’s growth has been enabled by a global network of staff, volunteers and supporters. The book highlights how simple, persistent acts of love can contribute to efforts to reduce child hunger and make a lasting impact in the lives of the children served.

The author, M. MacFarlane-Barrow, shares a humble, powerful story that remains highly relevant in today’s society of plenty and privilege. The work is presented as a compelling account of personal conviction and organizational effort that has grown into a movement with a worldwide footprint.
