A message from The Miracle Foundation:
"From the very first visit with AIDE, I knew that our organizations would work well together. Their passion for their work and their team is apparent from the start. Even more striking was their immediate insistence on transparency; both in their own company and with anyone they are in partnership with. Because one of the keystones of The Miracle Foundation is transparency, in our communication, our finances, and our travel program, it was an easy decision to partner with AIDE. The Miracle Foundation is very excited about the opportunities that AIDE can provide for our kids to meet volunteers from all over the world. AIDE brings highly motivated and committed volunteers and The Miracle Foundation provides an environment of rich culture, education, and most important, service to the children of India. We are looking forward to a long and successful relationship with AIDE." Barbara Joubert - The Miracle Foundation.
Experience India like no others will...
There are currently 25 million orphaned children in India -- equal to the inhabitants of the state of Texas. Most orphans in India live in overcrowded, under-funded, government orphanages.
The rest live on the streets.
The Miracle Foundation is an organization dedicated to empowering children to reach their full potential, one orphan at a time. They are making a significant impact on the lives of orphaned children in India by:
• Raising the standard of living for the children in orphanages
• Reducing the number of non-orphaned children living in orphanages
• Increasing the number of domestic adoptions in India
The Miracle Foundation renovates existing orphanages, builds new ones, raises money for construction and finds sponsors for the children. In India, the donations go a long way towards healthy food, tuition, better living conditions, clothing, and medical care. Love, affection, and hope for a bright future come from their incredible staff, ambassadors, and sponsors. The Miracle Foundation currently operates four Children's Homes and one home for unwed mothers and is currently preparing to begin facilitating domestic adoptions in India.
The Miracle Foundation needs Volunteers to transform children's lives, one orphan at a time.
