Magnus is the founder and CEO of Mary’s Meals International, a global charity providing daily meals to over 3 million of the world’s poorest children in their place of education. His journey began in 1992 when, moved by the Bosnian conflict, he and his brother delivered aid from Scotland to Bosnia. This effort grew into the registered charity Scottish International Relief, which later evolved into Mary’s Meals in 2002 after a pivotal encounter with a family in Malawi.

Magnus started his career as a fish farmer in Argyll, Scotland. His vision that every child should have enough to eat and access to education has transformed Mary’s Meals into a worldwide movement operating in 16 countries. He has received numerous honours, including being named a CNN Hero (2010), receiving an OBE in the New Year’s Honours list (2011), and being recognised as one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People (2015). Magnus is also the author of bestselling books, including The Shed That Fed a Million Children (updated as The Shed That Fed 2 Million Children) and Give: Charity and the Art of Living Generously.

Magnus remains deeply committed to ending child hunger through education.

Maureen Martin shares with Clayton how the bedrock of her faith enabled her to face the challenges, including (in a 6 month period) the death of her son & her husband's horse-riding accident that resulted in brain damage. Her story encourages us that no matter what life throws at you, there can be a purposeful future up ahead as we trust in God.
