Miracle Foundation

1. We unite children with families – always preferring kinship care over
institutions.

2. We prevent children from entering the foster care and orphanage systems in
the first place – by training the social workforce to understand that separation
should be the last resort.

3. We stabilize placements for children until they have a forever home.

Children want to grow up in a family, and each of them have the right to a safe, stable, and permanent home. And yet millions of children remain in orphanages, are removed from their birth family, or are moved too often between foster homes. It’s time to change this. Here’s how we’re doing it.

We are working to eliminate the need for orphanages globally. Miracle Foundation is part of a movement to reunite orphaned children with their families. Collectively, with partners all over the world, we believe we can end the need for orphanages in our lifetime.

We are working to ensure children grow up in a safe, stable samily. In the United States, Miracle Foundation is working tirelessly to help stabilize children in families within the foster system and also working to prevent at-risk children from ever entering the system in the first place.

1.Prevent children from entering the system in the first place.

Every day around the world, social workers, caregivers and government officials make decisions that impact millions of vulnerable children. Partnering with UNICEF, we provide highly specialized training and educational resources for these “boots on the ground” workers in the childcare ecosystem.

Through this collaboration, Miracle Foundation has trained 2300+ government officials and caregivers and partnered with community programs that identify and support at-risk children and vulnerable families long before child placement in an orphanage becomes a necessity.


2. Ensure that every child thrives.

All children are entitled to an education, nutrition, health and protection. Over the past twenty years, we have developed the proprietary Thrive Scale™ methodology, based on the UN Rights of the Child and using this we are currently working with close to 300 orphanages to improve the lives of more than 15,000 children.

The orphanages we directly support see a 47% increase in Thrive Scale™ scores and a 20% reunification of children with their families.

3. Connect the US Foster Care System.

Miracle Foundation is applying our expertise in data collection and ground-breaking technology to the US foster care system. With the introduction of our FosterShare™ app, we are simplifying reporting and connecting community services to foster families. By linking agencies, experts and education to an easy-t0-use app, we are creating greater stability and preventing the traumatic negative impacts on children when they are moved from foster home to foster home.
