The backpack project was started after one child had heard of Mary's Meals at her local church. She explained to her teacher who in turn invited the child to speak to the whole school and spread the word about Mary's Meals charity, The childs name was Charlotte. The school pupils then sterted a project to collect backpacks for the poorer childrn. It does this by inviting people to fill up an old school bag/pack with some everyday school things. These bags will then be given out to childrn who realy need them.
The backpack project sent over 33,000 backpacks last year to some of the poorest children in the world: they have been sent to Malawi, Uganda,Liberia and Romania. For information on the backpack programe download the FAQ DOCUMENT.
