At GOLD COLLAGEN®, we believe wellbeing should reach beyond ourselves.
That’s why, for every bottle purchased across our UK, Italy, Spain and Portugal sites, we donate a nutritious school meal to a child in need through Mary’s Meals in Zambia, Kenya, Malawi.
A daily meal at school doesn’t only feed a child — it gives them hope, a chance to learn, grow, and build a better future.

Mary’s Meals provides school meals to children living in some of the world’s poorest communities.
A single school meal cheir model is simple and powerful: a daily meal served at school encourages children to attend, learn, and hope for a brighter future.
What inspired us most is their commitment to:
- Nourishment with dignity
- Education as a path out of poverty
- Community-led solutions
- Efficiency and transparency
For us, this partnership reflects what we believe: wellbeing is a shared responsibility — and small choices can create lasting change.
For every bottle you buy, we fund one nutritious school meal through Mary’s Meals. There’s no round-up, no extra checkout step — it’s automatic. Simple. Transparent. Impactful.

More Than Food — It’s a Chance for a Future
A single school meal can:
- Improve concentration and energy
- Increase school attendance
- Support healthy growth
- Relieve pressure on families
- Break cycles of hunger
- Foster long-term development
When a child is nourished, they can dream and learn. And when they can dream, they can grow.

Supporting Mary’s Meals means supporting a proven, efficient charity with one of the lowest administrative cost models globally.
Mary’s Meals has been supporting children in Malawi for over 20 years and is now feeding over one million hungry children a day just in this country.
Malawi has consistently high levels of food insecurity and the population is increasingly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. As families struggle to find enough food to eat, survival often takes priority over education.
A staggering 70% of the population lives below the international poverty line ($2.15 a day) and 34% of children under five have stunted growth.
Most schools receiving Mary’s Meals are in the Southern region with large numbers also supported in both the Central and Northern regions. Mary’s Meals also support preschool age children in Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres who are most vulnerable to the effects of malnutrition.
The feeding programme is implemented by Mary’s Meals Malawi and their partners Missionary Community of Saint Paul the Apostle (MCSPA).
A typical school meal is CSB (a corn and soya blend porridge which is fortified with essential vitamins and minerals). This meal is known in Malawi as likuni phala, but most children just call it ‘phala’
Mary's Meals is changing the story for over one million children in Malawi, moving their focus away from when they will next eat and enabling them to concentrate on their studies.
Mary’s Meals has been supporting children in Zambia since 2014.
The programme is delivered directly by Mary’s Meals Zambia, and currently provides school meals to 420,896 children (age 4 to 18) in 752 schools.
We provide students with a Maize and soya porridge fortified with vitamins and minerals.
The country suffers from high rates of malnutrition, poverty and food insecurity. Of those able to attend classes, one million go to class hungry.
Mary’s Meals has been supporting children in Kenya since 2005 and currently provides school meals to 139,807 children, aged between 3 and 18.
The school feeding programme is operated by Mary’s Meals Kenya, as well their partners Caritas Lodwar (Diocese of Lodwar).
A typical school meal consists of maize served with beans, and oil fortified with vitamin A and iodised salt.
Food insecurity is very high in Kenya, particularly in the arid and semi-arid regions that make up 80% of the country’s land area.
Food insecure families tend to live in rural areas, where they are most susceptible to climate change and adverse weather conditions that affect the agricultural sector on which they depend for a living.
There remain high rates of malnutrition in Kenya with 29% of children in rural areas, and 20% of those in urban areas, experiencing stunted growth.
