THE-ICE

💙 Just A$35 can provide school meals for a child for an entire year

Through our Corporate Social Responsibility partnership with Mary's Meals, THE-ICE is supporting the 161 students of Fefeh Town Public School in Liberia.

A daily meal at school does more than address hunger. It encourages children to attend class, helps them concentrate and gives them a better opportunity to learn, thrive and build a brighter future.

Our fundraiser closes on 15 September 2026. Every donation can make a meaningful difference.
