Since our founding on Mother’s Day in 2000, the Miracle Foundation has taken a stand for orphaned children. Today there are 8 million children living in institutions around the world. That is unacceptable. Ask any child and they will tell you that their biggest dream is to be part of a loving family — it’s where they thrive.

Our “Child First” approach is multi-faceted, collaborative and community-based:

• 80% of children living in institutions have a living relative. We make every effort to reunite these children with their birth family, if possible.
• For abandoned children without family — our measurable, systematic method ensures that children are loved, educated, healthy and safe until they transition to a permanent family.
• We actively collaborate with governments, other non-profits and local family-strengthening organizations to transform systems and give children a voice.
