The Miracle Foundation is a nonprofit organization that brings life-changing care to the world's orphans. Helping people help themselves is the most sustainable way to affect real change. That's why we focus on strengthening existing institutions and giving purposeful employment to local people in need of work. Together with our donors, we transform local orphanages into homes, train displaced women to become cherished mothers and fund scholarships for education.

Our approach empowers donors, caregivers and children. It's transforming. It's measurable. It's proven. And it works miracles.
