The Irish Whiskey Awards is proudly partnered with Mary's Meals.
686 Children are fed every day at the Kapatomoyo School in Zambia by Celtic Whiskey (Celtic Whiskey Shop & Celtic Whiskey Bar) & the Irish Whiskey Awards.
Zambia suffers from high rates of malnutrition, poverty and food insecurity, with many children out of school. For those who are able to attend, more than one million arrive hungry each day.
Since Mary’s Meals began serving meals in Zambia in 2014, the programme has expanded rapidly and now feeds more than 92,000 children across the country.
