At Gold Collagen, we believe that beauty is more than skin deep -- it's about the impact we make in the world. That’s why, with every bottle of GOLD COLLAGEN you drink, we provide one school meal to a school child in need. Thanks to YOUR support, we are thrilled to announce a remarkable milestone: together, we have provided over 500,000 meals to school children in need through our partnership with Mary's Meals. This achievement represents full stomachs, brighter futures, and hopes for thousands of children in Kenya, Malawi and Zambia. 

A Shared Mission: Fighting Hunger through Education

You, our customer, through your purchases, have played a crucial role in ensuring that children receive a daily meal at school.  For many, this meal is the only one they will have all day.  This does more than just ease hunger -- it allows children to stay in school, focus and learn rather than searching for food. The impact of this simple yet powerful act of nourishment is profound, giving children the opportunity to build a better future. 

Addressing the Global Hunger Crisis

The need for school meals has never been greater: 

  • Kenya: Over 1.9 million people face high acute food insecurity, and 800,000 children under 5 suffer from acute malnutrition. Many families in rural areas struggle to provide consistent meals, affecting both health and education.
  • Malawi: Climate-related disasters, including severe droughts have, have left millions vulnerable.  Over 30 million people in Southern Africa are projected to require food assistance due to extreme weather conditions.
  • Zambia: Economic instability and regional inequalities make food security a challenge, particularly for smallholder farming communities.  For many children, school meals are essential for both their physical well-being and academic success.

The Impact:  Stories of Hope

Behind every meal is a child whose life is being changed

  • Kenya: In Turkana County, one of the country's most food-insecure areas, Mary's Meals provides daily nourishment to thousands of children. Volunteers like Nakali ensure that meals reach those who need them most, allowing children to remain in school and avoid the dangers of long journeys in search for food.
  • Malawi: Vumiliya, a refugee and mother of 10, fled conflict in Burundi and found safety in Malawi. Despite her efforts to support her family, ensuring food for her children was an ongoing struggle. Thanks to Mary's Meals, seven of her children receive a nutritious school meal daily, often their only meal of the day.
  • Zambia: Grace, a mother of eight and a dedicated volunteer cook, has spent many years preparing meals for schoolchildren. She has seen firsthand the difference these meals make, saying, "It gives me a lot of joy to serve porridge to children, knowing it contributes to their activeness in class."

The Power of Togetherness

This milestone is a testament to the power of collective action.  Every bottle of Gold Collagen you drink contributes to this initiative, turning beauty into a force for good.  Because of you, thousands of school children are receiving the nourishment they need to grow, learn and dream. 

Our partnership with Mary's Meals ensures that this impact continues. But the journey doesn't stop here.  With your continued support, we can serve even more meals, bring more children to school, and create a ripple effect of positive change

A Heartfelt Thank You

Reaching 500,000+ meals is an incredible achievement, and we couldn't have done it without you. 

On behalf of the children whose lives have been touched, thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, we are proving that small acts of kindness, when multiplied, can change the world. 

Here's to the beauty of giving and the future we are building together.
