Miracle Foundation

I had the privilege of working with the amazing team at the Miracle Foundation, and it truly felt like home. From the moment I connected with them, I was struck by their genuine passion for transforming the lives of children. The warmth, dedication, and compassion they bring to their work is heartwarming and inspiring.

What really stood out to me is how impactful their efforts are. They are not just providing short-term relief; they are creating sustainable change by focusing on family-based care, education, and long-term well-being. Watching firsthand how they empower children to thrive, not just survive, was a deeply moving experience.

The Miracle Foundation team is transparent and driven by results, ensuring that every child they support has a bright, hopeful future. I can honestly say that the work they are doing is incredibly meaningful, and being part of that journey even in a small way is rewarding beyond words.

If you are looking to support an organization with a heart and a purpose, I highly recommend the Miracle Foundation. They are changing lives, one child at a time.

I have had an incredible experience working with the Miracle Foundation at UofT. As the co-founder of the UofT chapter, I’ve been directly involved in organizing initiatives aimed at supporting the mission of empowering orphaned and vulnerable children. The nonprofit is committed to impactful and sustainable change, and I truly admire their holistic approach to improving children’s lives by focusing on education, healthcare, and emotional support.

What stands out about the Miracle Foundation is the dedication to transparency and measurable impact. Every project we’ve been involved in had clear goals, and the results were tangible. The organization encourages collaboration and creativity, allowing volunteers to contribute in meaningful ways.

If you’re looking to get involved with a nonprofit that is making a real difference, while also learning valuable leadership and project management skills, I highly recommend the Miracle Foundation. The passion of the team and the positive outcomes for the children make this a nonprofit worth supporting!

I donate only to organizations with a track record of success. More than 50,000 children have been served by Miracle Foundation through reunification or other services that get them on the road towards support and stability under the care of compassionate and skilled staff. That’s a worthwhile investment in the lives of youngsters facing severe challenges.

I’m proud to support Miracle Foundation! They are truly transforming the lives of children, and their mission to empower vulnerable children to reach their full potential is inspiring. It’s clear they are driving lasting, meaningful change, and I’m so grateful to have discovered such an impactful organization!

My husband and I were moved to donate yearly to Miracle Foundation just last year, but it is something we will keep doing as long as we are able. They do such amazing work for kids and families, and do so in such a transparent and pure way. With my background in Child Protective Services, I know that bias can creep in when looking at a family's situation, so what I especially loved about Miracle Foundation is that they have developed a system to measure where the needs are objectively. The team at Miracle Foundation makes us feel like part of the family, and I couldn't be more proud to support the work they do.

I’m always impressed with the work that the Miracle Foundation does!
Especially by how tactful their methodology is in making sure every child gets to grow up in a family.

I've known Caroline Boudreax for about 30 years . I walked the lake with her soon after her return from traveling the world as an exploratory adventure to find herself. She definitely found herself and her purpose. in her stopover at an orphanage in India. I heard the initial emotional story walking Lady Bird Lake with her-she was filled with the most contagious passion, concern and determination. . Now decades later I can assure you that passion has not wavered -its escalated and expanded. I'm so proud of this organization. I'm happy to donate yearly and will keep doing so. This organization is now transforming the foster care system. Just watch. The mission and heart of this organization is relentless.

I am a summer intern at Miracle Foundation and have been really enjoying my time here. The passion and dedication of everyone involved is inspiring, and it's incredible to see the difference they are making. The team is super welcoming, and I'm really happy and grateful to be a part of this amazing organization.

Being part of the Youth Executive Council for the Miracle Foundation was such an incredible experience. It was evident how dedicated the board members of the foundation were to this wonderful cause. The Miracle Foundation is devoted to providing a family and a home for every child. Whether it’s on the global scale in India or helping foster children in Texas, the Miracle Foundation continues to stay committed to their cause. Extra thanks to Kathryn, Nicole and all of the other YEC members for making this such a fulfilling experience for me :)

Miracle Foundation sets itself apart from other nonprofits through its unwavering commitment to its mission and advocacy work. The team is warm, welcoming, and always willing to help. I am extremely grateful for my internship opportunity with Miracle Foundation and the continuous support they have provided even after my time with the Miracle Foundation team!

Miracle Foundation is a leader in creating innovative solutions in the social sector. I am thrilled to be apart of such an incredible team that is working hard to protect and empower families! You can trust in this team to go the extra mile and deliver unparalleled results.

I am so excited to see the work the Miracle Foundation is doing. They are looking to make real change and not just help children today but prevent children from living in institutional care like orphanages. I donate monthly because I know my donation will make a difference in the lives of many children in India and the US.

I am currently interning at Miracle Foundation and I can confidently say that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. When I first started my internship I was nervous, but that quickly dissipated as I got to meet the wonderful staff at Miracle Foundation. Every employee has been a joy to work with and is always eager to help. Everyone is incredibly committed and believes in the same mission that children belong in safe and loving homes. Through my time here, I have been able to witness the incredible innovations Miracle Foundation has created. I am grateful to be given the opportunity to help Miracle Foundation reach their goals and be apart of this project.

Many thanks to this amazing nonprofit for seeing such a profound need, working diligently to create solutions to unite/reunite children with true families and for giving me an opportunity to help in some small way with my donations! The children in our global family truly are our future and should be given every opportunity to start from a firm, family foundation.

I have supported this charity for two years and encourage all my friends and family to do the same. They are doing wonderful things for children in the United States and India. I recommend Miracle Foundation to anyone who wants to support children.

I usually don’t leave reviews on nonprofit, but Miracle Foundation truly sets itself apart. Everyone on the team is dedicated and passionate about the Miracle Foundation cause. 10/10.

At every corner, the Miracle Foundation displays their earnest commitment to their mission, vision, and values. They follow strongly to their belief that every child has the right to a safe, stable, and permanent home. They are striving to eliminate the need for orphanages globally and to ensure every child grows up in a stable, safe family in a proactive and preventive way. This is done both through being there on the ground first-hand, striving to change policies, and creating resource tools. Not only do they hold true to their mission, the work atmosphere is kind, supporting, and uplifting. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to intern at the Miracle Foundation, and I am excited to see all the continued good they will do in this world.

I've donated to this foundation because of their dedication to improving the lives of children. All children deserve to grow up in a stable environment with love and nurturing, and Miracle Foundation really truly works toward that goal. Making a child's life better is one of the most worthy causes out there. I'm happy to support their cause and root for their success.

I've enjoyed my time as an intern with the Miracle Foundation. The Miracle Foundation's Austin office is a welcoming environment where all viewpoints and views are respected. Everyone is so passionate and committed to the work being done, and they are always thinking ahead to how things might be improved. I adore how friendly and upbeat the staff is toward everyone. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to further my relationship with Miracle past volunteering.

My experience with The Miracle Foundation started with my college organization. They were our philanthropy and from the moment any of us stepped into the office, you could tell we were getting to work with people who are so passionate about what they do and who have such a strong desire to give back to society. It was so inspiring to observe that I ended up applying as an intern for the summer! The workplace is a welcoming environment where all viewpoints and views are respected. Everyone is so passionate and committed to the work being done, and they are always thinking ahead to how things might be improved. I adore how friendly and upbeat the staff is toward everyone, and it has truly been a pleasure working with them!

I've been interning here this past summer and it is very evident how passionate every person here is for the mission of this non-profit. It is really inspiring to be working with people who love what they do and feel so strongly to give back to society!

I am an intern with the Miracle foundation have loved my time here! The office is a positive place where all opinions and ideas are listened to and valued. Everyone is so dedicated and passionate about the work being done and is constantly looking forward to how things can be even better. I love the fact that the staff is so positive and welcoming to everyone! I look forward to staying involved with the Miracle Foundation even when my internship is over!

I had a great experience with the Miracle Foundation. Being an online intern I was nervous about not being able to connect with my co-workers due to the lack of face to face communication. I was happily surprised and felt like the Miracle Team included and prioritized me in meetings and in Staff activities. Through the duration of my internship I felt like I was given the opportunity to do real and impactful work, and definitely felt a part of the Miracle Team!. Highly recommend the Miracle Foundation!!!

A professional team that is working towards an important goal. Truly great people to work with.

Both Miracle Foundation USA and India have an experienced and knowledgeable Senior Leadership and Program Team. They have a good track record of helping vulnerable children maximise their potential.

I served as a student ambassador president for Miracle Foundation and it was one of the best things I’ve done. Miracle Foundation really strives to build a community amongst its members and is fully invested in improving the quality of life of the orphan children in India.

Miracle Foundation is a wonderful organization dedicated to a great cause. I interned here during my senior year in college and it is apparent how important this organization is to its staff members. From creating handmade cards to show donor appreciation, to having staff actually go to India and get into the roots of everything there is so much thought behind it all. They are also very transparent about the work they do and where funds go, which is something that not all nonprofits do. Extra thank you to Kathryn who constantly showed kindness and hard work. Thanks Miracle for the opportunity!

The moment I stepped into the Miracle Foundation house I felt welcomed with great love and excitement! Their attention detail and devotion for everyone surrounding them has built a community I forever want to be apart of!

Miracle Foundation is an amazing nonprofit that really helps shine light on countries who are in need of our help and support, especially during the pandemic. With great effort, we helped change the lives of so many children!

During my brief time working for miracle foundation, I have met the most sincere and hardworking people, who want to make a real difference in foster children's life. The team is welcoming and friendly. The work offered was aligned with my career goals. But above all, knowing that my actions can help a child's future is the most gratifying feeling.

I have had the opportunity to volunteer with Miracle Foundation on a few occassions and it has been a pleasure every time. It is always fun to interact and work with the team. I had just moved to Austin from India when I started volunteering with them and they made the experience very easy and comfortable. It is a great feeling knowing that my small actions may lead to a positive impact to children back home. Miracle Foundation is doing great work with the children in India and I hope I can contribute to their cause more in the future

Miracle Foundation has been such an inspiration to volunteers who are looking to serve the community and have been involved in every step of the way, trying to help us see what we can do! While trying to fundraise, they would hold several meetings to help keep us on track and remind us that we can do, always bringing new people who offer different perspectives. It has been such a great experience for me to grow in service and as a leader in today’s world!

Miracle Foundation has been such an amazing non-profit to work with because they truly make helping those in need their top priority. The staff members and coordinators are so caring and genuine and are always ready to help out and be there when we need them. Their student ambassadors program is so impressive and I am so happy to be a part of it. The underprivileged children in India that are in need of a loving home and education can definitely count on Miracle foundation to help their dreams become a reality because the outreach is exceptional.

I've been a supporter of the Miracle Foundation for more than a year and have attended two of their online annual meetings. I left each one in tears, I was so moved by reports about what had been accomplished and what was being planned for the future...and by the testimonies of children who'd been helped and by administrators of Miracle Foundation programs. This organization is making a significant difference in the current lives of many, many children (and the adults who care for them), and it is changing the future of the communities in which these empowered children take leadership. The Miracle Foundation is an inspiring example that it not only "...takes a village to raise a child," but it takes a community of care, integrity, and vision to raise every person--child or adult-- living in the village. I'm grateful to be able to support an organization that supports so many others so effectively.

I've worked as an orphan advocate for the past 8 years, and I've seen many players in this field. I choose to partner only with the ones who have a proven track record of effectiveness and trustworthiness; Get things done, prove results, don't waste my money. After more than 20 years serving vulnerable children, I can say: Caroline Boudreaux and her team are the real deal. They do what they say they're going to do, their charity watchdog ratings speak for themselves, and they're nice people. In full disclosure, I've done some freelance video work for them...but even if this were not true, I would still endorse them as people, as an organization. and as a nonprofit worthy of your support. As the world pivots away from orphanages and towards family-based care, Miracle Foundation is leading the way and generously offering their innovations and resources to all those working towards the same goal. If you don't know their story, check it out at www.miraclefoundation.org

I am proud to support an organization like Miracle Foundation. Being from India, I feel it's important to give back to my community, and I greatly respect the integrity with which Miracle approaches their work there. I am inspired by the dedication of their staff and have shared their projects with friends in India working in the social sector who have been impressed with Miracle's tools. I was especially happy to support their much-needed aid children's education in India during the COVID crisis. I look forward to staying involved with their work. Thank you for all that you do!

I have been a donor to Miracle Foundation since 2019 and love being able to support the work that they do to get children into families. Through their regular communications and stories you get a really clear idea of what your money does and the impact you are making. I feel confident that my donations are being put to good use!

The Miracle Foundation is a wonderful charity that truly cares about their children, and the goal is for everyone to have a permanent family. They were adaptable to Covid and personalized giving campaigns ,and i'm very impressed with how the org has managed to optimize case worker workloads. They are quick to respond and open to feedback. I love volunteering for thank you calls.

I was given the great opportunity of interning with the Miracle Foundation. Throughout this internship I have been able to learn and grow through the work and their mission. I was initially drawn to the Miracle Foundation by their mission, what they believe, and work towards. I am incredibly proud of the work I have been able to do while working here. Not only is the work valuable, but the staff of the American office is so welcoming and always in a good mood. Out of all the work experiences I have had, the Miracle Foundation has the warmest and most inviting environment.

When I first met the founder of The Miracle Foundation, Caroline Boudreaux, I was so moved by her passion about caring for orphaned children that I immediately volunteered my services as a nonprofit business consultant. The Miracle Foundation was a much smaller organization then, but Caroline‘s vision for helping orphans was already huge. With the seed of an idea and a heart filled with love she began a mission.

At first Caroline didn’t know how to accomplish what she envisioned but that didn’t stop her. Upon finding her vision and determination irresistible, many other people with a variety of skills joined her in her mission and have helped in a variety of ways. As a result, thousands of children now have much better lives.

The Miracle Foundation has continually evolved over the years, becoming increasingly able to solve the problems surrounding orphans. Through developing scalable, sustainable models it is able to send children who were living in orphanages home to their families and help children who are still living in orphanages receive the love, care and education that they need to thrive.

The Miracle Foundation embodies excellence, integrity, service and love. With a goal of ensuring every child has a home and ending the need for orphanages worldwide, the organization is making steady progress. Every dollar is used as carefully as possible to make sure that children are helped as effectively as possible. I am honored to have donated time and money to this extraordinary international organization that is transforming the lives of children.

I've been involved with Miracle Foundation since 2006 and think it is a great organization. The team is truly committed to their cause and have put all children (and the well-being of children) at the center of everything they do. The organization is also very efficiently run and has the ability to ensure that most of your donation (whether time or money) is leveraged as fully as possible for the cause. I will be involved for decades to come and love the work they're doing to expand their reach globally and ensure every child can be in his or her home or have a home. Beautiful, soul-filling work!

I’m so proud to say that I absolutely donate to The Miracle Foundation. Their vision and mission is so important to the lives of children and they have a solid, proven record.

The Miracle Foundation is an organization that truly puts a child's needs ahead of everything else. They have worked vigilantly over 10 years to support the basic human rights of every child. While I enjoyed trips to India as a volunteer working with the children at the orphanages I applaud Caroline and her board and staff and their pivot from child sponsorship to spending donation money and human effort to creating a measurable way to identify and strive to achieve human rights for every child, and for finding permanent homes for orphaned children within their culture in India. I am proud of my small contributions to this organization and can attest every single person associated with the Foundation and the other volunteers I have met are people of generous hearts who always want to put each child first.

I have been interning at Miracle Foundation for almost a year now and have loved every moment of it. All of the individuals working with Miracle are so passionate and dedicated to the mission of the organization. With every program that is carried out, the organization has been sure to keep the needs of the children they are working with and the mission of the organization at the forefront of the program. Everyone within the organization is open to new ideas or changes that are in the best interest of the children that they are working with. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the work that this organization does!

I started interning at TMF in 2016 and cannot say enough great things about this organization and the amazing human beings who are behind it. This is an organization that is completely transparent, has metrics in place that results in full accountability for every cent donated, and they genuinely believe in the work they are doing. Where many would turn a blind eye, TMF just rolls up their sleeves and gets to work. I have maintained relationships with many on the team because they are purely good human beings who approach everything they do with their full heart. If you are looking for an organization to support, to get involved with, to donate to - TMF is the one. They have changed the trajectory of the lives of so many overlooked and often forgotten children; they have given these children their dignity back by providing them their basic human rights and needs.

I have seen 14 years of the 20 years of Miracles by Caroline and her team. I have worked alongside most of the team in both Texas and India and they never cease to amaze me with their innovations. And they have never waivered from their mission. Go Miracle Go!

I love the focus on significantly improving the lives of orphans and the proven success they have in doing that. The Miracle Foundation has developed a methodology that they share with other organizations to lead the effort in improving the quality of life for children everywhere. One reason I support this organization is because I know my money is being used to provide direct support to the kids. The administrative costs are kept to a minimum through efficient management and a great volunteer network. I admire the passion and commitment of the founder Caroline Boudreaux and her team to expand the reach of the work they do.

I just finished a (virtual) internship with Miracle Foundation this past summer. I had an amazing experience learning about the care and thoroughness that goes into ensuring a happy and healthy life for each child they connect with. The love that the staff at Miracle Foundation has for all children is immense and so inspiring. I LOVE this organization, and wish everybody had hearts like these people do.

Miracle Foundation is an exceptional organization in that it is constantly evolving to meet the needs of the children served. As a donor of 10+ years, I appreciate being thought of as a partner and so kept abreast of changes, new initiatives, and problems solved. Miracle Foundation has both the heart of compassion and the head of strategy and effectiveness.

I have over 10 years of experience volunteering with and donating to The Miracle Foundation. They are committed, honest, resourceful accountable and reliable and always stay focused on the children and their futures. Whether it’s my time or donations, I feel secure with their focus and commitment to their mission. They are a blessing to this world and to all those they serve.

This organization has changed my whole perspective on the level of thoroughness, thoughtfulness, and love that goes into caring for these kids. The Miracle Foundation has blown me away with their attention to detail, from employing the Rights of the Child as established by the UN to their scalable model for measuring how these rights are being met. The thought of these incredible children being cared for, encouraged, and supported to thrive fills my heart. I’m always wanting to know how else I can help, and what I can do to support this excellent organization.

I've been participating with The Miracle Foundation for about 15 years now. I searched for several years for an organization I could believe in. TMF is it! I've been on 4 trips to visit the orphanages and the kids. Every trip has been rewarding and an adventure. I was always very impressed by the quality of care and love the kids got. The staff is well trained and give all of the children so much real love. I highly recommend TMF to anyone who is looking at making a big difference with orphans!

I don't have enough words to express my gratitude for this organization and what it has done for so many. I have been with The Miracle Foundation to visit India on three different trips after years of donating to the mission of helping break the poverty cycle by lifting up and empowering children to reach their full potential. What was so amazing was to see first hand what my donations and support (along with countless others) had put into motion and the end result was astonishing. I was so scared on my first trip to India with TMF...worried that I would be sad and depressed when I visited these children. But I had a smile glued to my face at all times because I was completely surrounded by children that were happy, healthy, smiling, loved, thriving, grateful, curious, and smart! I was hooked and went back two more times in as many years to see those gorgeous children and others like them in various areas. Additionally, I will say this group of people that form The Miracle Foundation work so hard to make sure to keep operations and overhead costs as low as possible in order to funnel as much as they can of every dollar to the mission itself and those they ultimately serve. Caroline Boudreaux, the founder, is the real deal. She followed her heart and her calling, choosing an extremely difficult path versus an easy, paved one that lay before her. She's never looked back and as a result she has touched thousands of lives. I love that her goal is to put orphanages out of business. How amazing is that? Every child in a home...and she won't stop pushing toward that goal. I'm in awe of everything this organization does and has done and it's why I have been supporting it with my time, my talents, my gifts, my presence for 19 years, and will continue to do so well into the future.

I can’t recommend this nonprofit enough! I feel confident donating and knowing that the nonprofit is extremely well operated and managed. The team works hard to implement its inspiring mission.

I always say that the Miracle Foundation is changing the World one child at a time. I am confident that In the future all those children whose lives have been touched and made better by the love of the Miracle Foundation, they too will have open hearts to love and improve the lives of others around them.

Amazing organization! The orphans they help in India are thriving! Great leadership team. I highly recommend you looking into this fantastic life changing non-profit!

Our family has been supporting Miracle Foundation since its inception, we've watched it grow over the last 19 years. We are consistently impressed with the amount of time and effort they put into meeting the changing needs of the underserved in our world and also of Miracle Foundation's commitment to keeping their donors informed.

I had the wonderful opportunity to intern at the Miracle Foundation and my time there exceeded all of my expectations. I got to witness just some of the inspiring work that everyone involved with the Miracle Foundation does to fight for the rights of children around the world. The Miracle Foundation's work taught me that in a world that can sometimes seem to be filled with hate, love can be found at every corner and passionate people have the ability to foster positive change. The Miracle Foundation gave me hope for a better and brighter world. At the Miracle Foundation, everyone believes in the importance of a loving family for children to learn, grow, and feel supported in. They say once you are apart of the Miracle Foundation family, you will be forever. This is a family I am immensely honored to always be apart of.

I started volunteering for Miracle Foundation in 2016, and it has been an awesome journey. The people are amazing, highly driven and committed to make an impact. The organization is extremely transparent and they are always willing to answer any questions you may have. They are very accommodative and can always find a role for you if you are willing to volunteer. So thankful to be a small part of a great organization doing miraculous life changing work.

Throughout the past four months, I have been a intern in the Programs Department. I have loved working with this fun team and seeing what a huge difference this foundation does. Through the reports given on each of the orphanages that is helped by the Foundation, I see how helpful and caring the Foundation is. The Foundation is organized and detailed and will do whatever is necessary to help the children.

I interned at the miracle foundation for a year with their development team. During my time with them, I was able to see first hand how their work impacts the lives of children in India. Seeing the level of care every staff member had for each other, house mothers (the children's care takers) and the children shows that everyone involved is driven by true passion.

Both the international and US based teams are so knowledgeable in terms of leadership and project management, I was always grateful to sit in meetings and hear the goals for future growth.

After my time interning I became a sponsor (no longer to to personal financial constraints) but I continue to support the Miracle Foundation however I can. '

Keep up the great and important work!

Through my time as an Intern, I have been fortunate enough to witness firsthand the true passion, dedication and heart behind The Miracle Foundation. The Miracle Foundation's mission is to provide life-changing care and family reunification to orphaned and vulnerable children. This incredibly inspiring mission is accompanied by an equally inspiring and caring staff. The Miracle Foundation is an amazing organization!

"My friend asked me to volunteer with Miracle Foundation after she had spent 4 months volunteering with them. I greatly enjoyed working with the staff and learning about their programming, passion, and dedication. Miracle Foundation is a great example of a 5-star nonprofit!"

I volunteered with Miracle Foundation in the winter of 2017 and it was such a fun experience. It can be difficult for an international nonprofit to connect individuals in America to the people and places they serve internationally, but as soon as you walk into the office you feel the connection to their work. Miracle Foundation is an excellent nonprofit and I'm proud to have volunteered for them!

I recently moved to Austin and am thrilled to volunteer at the Miracle Foundation. I have been following their incredible story for a few years and they were at the top of my list of social impact orgs to work with in Austin. I admire their child first philosophy and seeing the team go above and beyond to make sure that the kids in India are in a loving, sustainable environment is inspiring. Go team!

We went to India and visited a group of amazing kids that Miracle Foundation supports. Although we thought we were the ones giving of our time and service, the children gave us all so much more love and joy than I ever imagined. My heart is full.

I am an intern with the Miracle Foundation and I have had a wonderful experience thus far! I decided to apply for an internship after reading about the mission and the impact that this foundation has had in the lives of so many orphaned children. It is awesome to see how much each person on staff uniquely cares for this program and works to fulfill the mission of the Miracle Foundation. The staff members genuinely have a heart for supporting the kids in need; and this heart is reflected in how they go about doing business. I enjoy being in this work environment because it personally encourages me and challenges me to take a passion that I have for a social cause and seek to be a part of the solution. Even in the few weeks that I've worked here, I have already learned so much about how this particular foundation works and how nonprofits operate in general. I think that the Miracle Foundation is doing a great work and I am so excited to continue learning and growing through my experience as an intern!

As an intern at Miracle Foundation, I was initially drawn to this nonprofit because of the way they framed their mission. As an international nonprofit providing life-changing care to orphaned and vulnerable children around the world, Miracle Foundation seeks to go "out of business" by the year 2040. This was a revolutionary idea to me, but one that makes so much sense upon further reflection. Nonprofits, like Miracle Foundation, exist to help solve societal issues; therefore, if you effectively solve the issue, there's no longer a reason for the nonprofit to exist. Since starting my internship with Miracle Foundation, that message has really been driven home for me. Everything the foundation does is working towards the goal of having every child out of an institution and into a loving family. I have immensely enjoyed the opportunity to apply my passion for human rights and social justice towards helping support the work that Miracle Foundation does to ensure that the United Nation's 12 Rights of the Child are realized by each and every child, everywhere.

I interned with Miracle over the summer, and it was one of the best learning experiences I have ever had. I witnessed firsthand how much they care about the children and how hardworking all the employees are. They always made sure that I was enjoying the work I was doing and that it aligned with my career goals. Miracle has greatly helped me grow professionally and personally - they truly love what they do every single day.

I was able to serve as an intern at The Miracle Foundation, fall of 2017 and absolutely loved it! I came across the organization by simply looking for nonprofits in the greater Austin area with a mission that I felt aligned with my passions and I chose the correct one. I was able to meet some of the friendliest people with a professional attitude toward one common goal of helping the children. I would highly recommend everyone to become involved in any way!

I recently moved to Austin and was looking for places to help out and volunteer. I went on Charity Navigator and found Miracle Foundation was on the top of the list based on their outstanding rating. After doing more research I learned more about their mission and their founder's incredible story. I then met the founder at a Social Impact Summit and have since gone into the local office a few times to help with a project. Everyone is super friendly and also super driven behind the foundation's cause and mission. This is an awesome organization!

I am a current development intern at the Miracle Foundation and am so fortunate to confidently say I support the mission of TMF and I am gaining valuable experience in the nonprofit sector. Everyone who comes in and out of the office, full-time staff or even volunteers, are always with a smile on their face and passionate about what they are working on. TMF has already done such amazing work and I can't wait to see what is in store for the future.

The Miracle Foundation is a nonprofit that truly does amazing things for orphans around the world. The founder's story fuels the organization with a fierce passion to create Centers of Excellence where these children in need can thrive until they are reunited with their kin. Keep making miracles happen!

My wife Raka, our children, and I have been actively involved with the Miracle Foundation for over ten years. We have made annual trips to orphanages run by the Miracle Foundation for the past four years, and I have served as Chairman of the Board for a number of years.

The numbers speak for themselves: Miracle Foundation helps 2,500 kids, which translates to over a million meals, hundreds of thousands of medicines, and thousands of textbooks. Imagine a typical household with two kids and multiply what happens there by one thousand, all with a maniacal attention to detail to meet each child’s needs!

More than just the numbers, however, I am a big fan of the Miracle Foundation due to what I call my “3 Ps”:

a) Process: Miracle Foundation has a proprietary Thrive Scale—this is a methodology created to measure and enable systematic change in their homes. The process emphasizes measurement followed by investment at greater rates as a home/organization hits its critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). In my world, this is venture capital meeting a non-profit: something as magical as true fusion of oil and water!

b) Persistence: Miracle Foundation has an amazing team in the U.S. While the staff is 10,000 miles away from the children they serve, it makes positive change with uncompromising integrity in India. This is a testament to the team's sheer perseverance and grit for the kids they serve. It is impressive they’re able to succeed and make this vision a reality.

c) People: The Miracle Foundation staff is among the most amazing people we have ever encountered. From a place of selflessness, motivation for the well-being of the kids, and very astute business thinking, the team has conceived and implemented a technology-enabled methodology (with tremendous attention to detail) that creates the maximum impact for every dollar generated.

I have seen many companies, have sat on many Boards, and have worked with amazing CEOs and entrepreneurs. But there is something about the folks at Miracle Foundation that makes you want to help them with their mission to empower the world’s most vulnerable children. Supporting them is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

The Miracle Foundation is a fantastic organization.

I have been donating to them for years now. They are going to do great things for orphans all over the world. Their system is transparent, measurable, and SO obviously working when you visit with the impacted children!!!
This is my fourth trip to India with TMF and I am sure it won't be my last.

I run a nonprofit that partners with various nonprofits around the world to bring unique educational experiences to children. We’ve had the fortune of partnering with The Miracle Foundation for several years now to bring STEM education workshops to kids in the homes they support in India. Each experience has been incredible, and I cannot say enough good things about this organization. The staff of the Miracle Foundation are so incredibly committed to these children and passionate about giving them the love and support they need to become healthy, thriving, human beings who get that they matter. If you ever have an opportunity to go on a trip to visit one of their homes, to look these children in the eyes and tell them they matter, to laugh and dance and just experience joy with them… I highly recommend you take it. It will forever change you.

I had the opportunity to visit an orphanage in northeast India that the Miracle Foundation has invested in, this past month, and the experience was astounding. First, the kids were happy and their happiness was tangible. I clearly could not communicate with any of the children extensively, but every time I looked at any of the children, a big smile would fill their face. It was beautiful! I was so excited to be with the children, and they were just as excited to be with me. The Miracle Foundation has made an impact in the lives of these children that is truly providing all of their 12 rights of a child, but also a happy, clean and loving home.

I was so impressed, and so happy to have spend a few days getting to teach some basic science and robotics concepts to the children. The organization truly cares about every child that walks through the doors of their homes.

They were also very supportive of their volunteers and very thankful for our time and efforts. I will definitely keep on supporting!

This is a fantastic organization, and this was an amazing, life-changing, wonderful trip! They took care of absolutely everything so that we could focus on our work with the kids.

We could tell the children and the orphanage staff all just adored the Miracle Foundation staff, and it was obvious that 1) TMF had done a lot of work to get the orphanage to its current state, and 2) we made a huge impact with our robotics program and STEM activities.

If I could give 5000 stars, I would.

My trip with The Miracle Foundation to one of their partnership orphanages in India was a great experience. I witnessed the Foundations premise and vision of providing the full scope of meeting resident children's measurable needs and outcomes in daily practice. The children are thriving and gifted with a lifetime legacy that will positively impact their whole lives, and will undoubtedly pass on to their future generations.

HMM. The association with Miracle foundation has helped in many ways in improving our home and the lives 100 girls we have. Introduction of training the house mothers and other staff and also for the committee members has been a great help. Trained SW who is totally funded by Miracle which we could not afford earlier. Systematic medical check up and implementation of vaccinations and proper recording and maintenance of medical files and education and case files. Balanced nutrition schedule. We can now provide the children with milk , fruits and proteins on a daily basis. Timely and scheduled distribution of linens , mattresses and under garments for the children. Introduction of the Miracle sponsored LSE programme has been beneficial. We are able to maintain a driver and accountant with Miracle support. Because of the association with Miracle, we could satisfy almost all rules of JJ Act when they came for inspection, which was a very fulfilling and rewarding moment for us. Periodical visits of programe co ordinators and auditors and doctors are a big boon to our organisation. We are very grateful to Miracle foundation for empowering us to improve the lives of our children and give them the best. Thank you Miracle foundation.!

I have had the pleasure of the working The Miracle Foundation for over a year now. As these homes are vetted, my non-profit, Science In A Suitcase have had the pleasure of helping start sustainable robotics programs for the kids at the homes!

We got to sing, dance, and play together.

These kids are real and I am a firm believer that the funds utilized to better real people in a real place doing awesome things to change this our world! That might be a run-on sentance but I want you to get the point. I heart these guys.

I had an incredible experience with the Miracle Foundation, from the wonderful employees in the Austin office, to the amazing guides in India. Truly an exceptional organization.

Inspirational founder and story; super well run and transparent; confirmed successfully run homes on the ground with ambassador visits. Have personally hosted fundraisers and donated. Feel like I'm dropping "little love bombs" all over as they spread my donation to worthy kids.

Amazing organisation! Have had an incredible time partnering up with them for our new social business SOVO. The charity is so transparent, authentic, genuine and all round impressive!

Great charity to work with and great charity organisation overall!

I first started my involvement with The Miracle Foundation through my spirit group, Texas Angels, who selected them as their philanthropy. We all love raising money and awareness for this amazing charity because we all deeply believe in their approach and mission toward the orphan problem in India. I took my interaction with them to the next level by becoming a marketing intern/volunteer at their Austin office. Not only are the people who work there striving toward an incredible goal, they are also some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They are extremely dedicated toward creating a better future for the orphans in India, and they always welcome you with a big smile.

I started working at The Miracle Foundation four months ago. This nonprofit was formed due to one woman's sincere desire to give orphaned children a better standard of life. The Miracle Foundation was built from the ground up with integrity and transparency and it shows in every aspect of how it's run. Being involved with this nonprofit makes you feel like you're doing something good and worthwhile in life. What I like most is that The Miracle Foundation supports children until they are old enough and educated enough to support themselves. Miracle is the real deal and it's filled with the kindest, warmest and most selfless people I've ever come across. They are truly transforming the lives of children who would otherwise go unnoticed and fall by the wayside.

The Miracle Foundation is an organization that I have fallen in love with over the past 2 years. I chose to fundraise for them while running the Austin Half Marathon in February of my junior year of high school, and little did I know that the day before my run I would be able to hear the founder, Caroline Boudreaux, speak about her love for the organization at the TedX Youth Conference. I was inspired by her story and of the way that the organization combats the issues with orphans. I recently went on a service trip to Haiti, and I've really been thinking about efficient ways to make a difference because we discussed the role of creating dependency and taking away local jobs. Miracle works with already existing places and with locals that are able to be trained and then share their knowledge. The 12 Rights is a wonderful standard that I truly believe in, and I love knowing that we are helping more children be able to make their mark on this world. As a fundraiser and now an intern, I can guarantee that your experience with the staff and organization as a whole will be filled with nothing but love. These are people working towards such an important cause with so much passion and spirit. Thank you, Miracle, for teaching me so much & giving me hope for the kids of the future!

Traveled to India and was able to see firsthand what the Miracle Foundation is capable of. Being a CFO and spending many years in nonprofits, it is hands down the best run nonprofit I have ever seen. They have taken a massive issue and started tearing it down, home by home, in a strategic, systematic and accountable way.

I love the Miracle Foundation. I have been volunteering for 4 years and npw have been on 3 separate trips to their orphanages. The kids are so happy and there is such a major transformation every year we visit them. Kids that were just singing and dancing have started to build robots and have a better chance of being successful with their lives. I saw this powerful impact first hand. It is all because of the the Miracle Foundation and its systematic approach to maximize the potential of every child. Thank you Miracle Foundation!

I interned at the Miracle Foundation while in college and had the most rewarding and impactful experience. The incredible people that run the foundation taught me so much about giving back to others which especially moved me as an Indian who has seen how badly orphans are treated in most of India first hand. It was inspiring working with these phenomenal individuals who work so hard to help increase the quality of life for kids thousands of miles away that they may never even meet. I could not recommend this foundation enough and hope to do work with them throughout my life, maybe even visiting an orphanage one day.

We - Borderless World Foundation - work in one of the world's most dangerous conflict zones - the northern most state of Jammu and Kashmir in India. We do all that we must, for the orphan girl children who come to us and live in our homes. Because of the given situation, most aid agencies prefer to stay away and offer 'remote help'. But Miracle has been a stunning exception. The founder herself came to visit our homes, met our children, talked to our staff and immediately put into action, along with her India team, a series of intervention where we needed it the most - training of our staff. Our staff consists of all locals and majority of them women who have not had sufficient education or exposure to obtain the skills and capacities to fulfil their responsibilities. Miracle has started training our staff right from the top to bottom with their characteristic compassion and meticulousness.

The most striking part of Miracle training, for me, was, that it was a "Value Based" training rather than a "Method Based' training. The methods served to create value rather than becoming rigid senseless obstacles in themselves as we see many times in governance practices around the world from small or big bodies.

At the long last, we have started looking forward with new energy and enthusiasm because now we are able to actually put our dreams into action.

Thank you Miracle!!!

This summer I was able to travel to an orphanage in an area near Mumbai with Miracle Foundation's ambassador program. It quickly became apparent why the ambassador program is so effective. With this work seeing truly is believing. From the moment we arrived at the home you could feel the love for these kids. It takes less than a day to understand that this is more than feeding and clothing needy children, this system builds families. After the time I spent bonding with these amazing little people, I grew incredibly protective of them. And yet at the end of my stay, while heartbroken to leave my new friends, I did not doubt for a second that they were in incredibly capable, caring hands.

Nisha is my favorite example from my trip of what this organization is doing. Nisha and I grew close quickly because, although she was one of the younger girls, her English was near the best. Because of assistance from the Miracle foundation Nisha is able to go to an English school that develops her skills. On our first day together Nisha told me she wanted to be a doctor and on our last day together I was able to hug her tight knowing that as long as she held that dream Miracle would support her along her journey.

I strongly encourage everyone to donate and get involved with this organization. This is meaningful, measurable change for our very most vulnerable in society. With so many orphans worldwide it's a daunting task, but I can't imagine a system or team more capable of accomplishing it.

I got interested in orphans after studying world social sciences and was overwhelmed by the overpopulation on the planet. I walked into The Miracle Foundation office one afternoon and asked how I could help. The staff is very knowledgeable about the importance of taking care of children who do not have a voice for themselves. The children that they support receive a chance to be loved, cared for, and are given opportunities as they grow to gain education chances that they would otherwise not be given. As a volunteer, I know my time is helping in one of the most under-looked issues that we face as humans.

I worked with Miracle Foundation as an ambassador to a children's home in south India. Traveling to India and working with the children was an incredible experience. I loved every minute of the adventure. From the moment I signed up, the Miracle Foundation helped me prepare for traveling and working with the kids. And during the trip, the representatives traveling with us were excellent companions and took great care of the group. Every interaction I had with the Miracle Foundation and its people was extremely positive and beneficial. I have zero complaints or concerns after working with them and I hope continue supporting their cause in the future.

I recently went on a trip to an orphanage in southern India with the Miracle Foundation to help kickstart a robotics program, and absolutely loved it! I was extremely impressed with the fruit of the organization's efforts at the orphanage, which was in dire need for improvement in a host of different ways only a few years ago, and is now thriving and full of happy, educated, and loving children. The foundation seeks to address many different areas of an orphanage's needs, including medical, nutritional, social, educational, etc. It was very encouraging to observe first hand how all of these had been developed, and life giving to us and the children to continue to invest in their lives through relational support, and activities that fostered creative thinking, problem solving and engineering concepts. Thank you, Miracle Foundation, for all of your efforts. I pray they would continue to grow beyond all of our hopes to bring many orphans the life they were meant to have.

This is an amazing organization that runs orphanages in India. I had the opportunity to visit one last year and was so impressed at the caring, the commitment and the results. the children are well nourished, clothed; taught skills for forming a community with proper values; and educated for a future job. The dedication of the staffs in India and here in the States is so apparent!

I’ve supported many good causes in my lifetime, but few have touched my heart as much as The Miracle Foundation has. The passion, commitment and selflessness of the organization’s dedicated staff – especially the loving “mothers” who directly care for the children at the various orphanages in India – is inspiring. I saw it first hand during my visit to India in October 2014. When I first arrived, I was scared of what I might see. I had imagined sad and hungry children huddled together in poor conditions.

But that’s not at all what I witnessed and experienced.

I saw smiling, energetic children playing together and treating one another with respect and kindness. I saw children showing good manners during meals and not rushing to get food or water – because they all knew there was always more than enough for everyone.

Quite simply, I saw children who were happy. Happy not in spite of having nothing, but rather because they actually have everything. Food. Shelter. Self-respect. Friendship. And love. Lots of love.

All thanks to The Miracle Foundation, which is truly transforming lives and creating a future for children who otherwise might very well have been forgotten.

As a volunteer and ambassador with The Miracle Foundation I'm proud to support such an inspiring non-profit that does incredible, life-changing work for orphaned children in India. Each of the Miracle's kids are well cared for by trained, loving house mothers, provided nutritious and delicious food, given free education and tutoring by trained tutors, provided life skills education and a loving, safe environment to grow up in. The Miracle Foundation is different from other organizations because of their measurable, systematic and scaleable method that focuses on empowering orphanages in India. I can't thank The Miracle Foundation enough for providing so many wonderful futures to such deserving kids.

I spent a week in India at the Mukta Home for girls orphanage with my daughter, Caroline. We, and six other ambassadors from the US got to spend time with 41 girls over a course of 4-5 days. It was "life changing" to say the very least. In spite of their upbringing, life tragedies, and those circumstances that brought them to this orphanage, I can tell you first hand that they are well-fed, being educated, being taught "the golden rule" and very well cared for. The love and happiness that exudes from these children and those that care for them, including The Miracle Foundation volunteers is palpable and extraordinary. It was certainly a trip that we will never forget, and after being there and seeing the work of this foundation, we will continue to support this work through prayer and funding.

Our dream of creating a loving, nurturing home for young girls - we could begin it, but we couldn't sustain it. Then Miracle provided us consistent funding and great training for our staff. We are getting training so our accounting is more systematic. And the life skills education has brought significant improvement for our girls.

I'm a proud monthly supporter of The Miracle Foundation and Consero, the company in which I serve as President, is proud to be working once again this year with the Miracle Foundation. We have a goal of raising $20,000 to help children who have less than you could possibly imagine

The Miracle Foundation has an unbelievable program aimed at helping orphans in the developing world make it to adulthood and have a chance in life. Having heard Caroline Boudreaux, founder of the Miracle Foundation, speak on multiple occasions, I can tell you first hand that it is gut wrenching to hear about the conditions that most orphaned children in the developing countries live under: malnourishment, disease, lack of any loving support system, no education, beds that are literally a wooden bench with no mattress, etc. For me as father it literally brings tears to my eyes picturing one of my children living in anything even close to the conditions these kids do.

I’d strongly encourage you to check the “Founders Story” video on their website as nothing I could say would have the same impact as to the conditions these kids live in and the impact of even a small amount of money on their lives.

For what it’s worth I will share the reasons why the Miracle Foundation's cause and organization resonates so much with me:

1) I feel like we as Americans are blessed to have been born into a system that provides us all with true opportunity. While there are certainly many in our own country who have much less opportunity than others, I can envision NOBODY with less of a chance in life than an orphan, in a rural area of the developing world. These kids have absolutely no voice, they are tucked away somewhere out of sight in a country where poverty is rampant even in larger cities, much less in rural areas and there are no funds to help them at all. Those in the most despair, with no voice to call for help and who can receive the biggest impact from even a small contribution are those it makes me feel the best to help.

2) It is a chance to turn a child, with their whole life in front of them, from someone who just clings to life on handouts to someone who can actually prosper as a contributing member of our global community. I found it overwhelmingly inspiring to hear that from these formerly destitute locations, with the help of the Miracle Foundation, they have had children actually leave orphanages and go to college…truly shocking when you look at what they had to emerge from.

3) The Miracle Foundation's program is not about handouts, they stage grants to orphanages and put them on a structured program where they have to measurably achieve milestones across different parameters before they can get more money. The idea of a meritocracy where money goes to those orphanages who show they can turn that grant into results for the children is in my view, the best way to ensure donations have the biggest impact possible.


As you can tell, I can’t say enough about the Miracle Foundation's cause, the efforts of the organization and the outcomes they have on children in the world who need help more than anyone else.

I encourage anyone reading this to do anything you can do to help these children. It will have a huge impact on the life of a child who right now is starving, cold, alone and has no future.

The training Miracle has provided has really helped our 2 children';s homes. It';s made the staff and organization more professional. The consistent funding provided by Miracle has allowed me to focus more on building and developing my staff - it';s life-changing to have the security of consistent funding.

As a 19-year-old female from a very small island in the Caribbean, travelling all the way to India was an adventure in itself; sharing my time with the most beautiful, happiest children I have ever come across was another - and this was all made possible through The Miracle Foundation.

Simply interacting with the kids in the orphanages we visited provided the most incredible feeling - the dancing, singing and laughing never ceased. What made our visits even more meaningful was being well-informed of the organisation's goals and achievements in each of the orphanages throughout our time there; one of the founders herself, Caroline, actually walked us through the intense monitoring processes that must be undergone before an orphanage is deemed a worthy partner of the non-profit organisation. Thus, in this way, we were able to fully understand exactly how our money was being spent in the orphanages - and it was evident that The Miracle Foundation was doing an exceptional job at that.

Thank you yet again, Miracle Foundation, for providing these wonderful children with a pathway, and us volunteers with a perspective.

I really love The Miracle Foundation. It is made up of unbelievable people who truly care about the well-being of others. Their methods are admirable and their hearts are always in the right place. In my time as a volunteer I have seen successes and setbacks. Through it all, the invaluable individuals that make up the Foundation have never ceased to amaze me with their perseverance and kindhearted nature.

People have asked me why I chose to give my time to an organization that helps people on the other side of the world. "There aren't any people that you can help in this country?" The beauty behind the mission and efforts of The Miracle Foundation is that small acts of giving by those who can afford it can have profound effects in the lives of people in other places - a true butterfly effect.

We are global citizens and I urge you to stay connected and check these people out. The Miracle Foundation will continue to make a difference long into the future and I would encourage you to become a part of it.

Transparency is consummate at the Miracle Foundation. Through working as an Ambassador in India last October and volunteering in the home office in Austin since I returned, the team has been extremely open with all of the organization's practices and allowed full access to information. Without a doubt, the organization acts with integrity, sincerity, and a well-defined sense of purpose helping hundreds of children grow into exceptional adults. Seeing the orphanage in action and watching the continual growth of it's programs, it is clear that the methods employed by the Miracle Foundation are effective and making a difference. I can think of no better way to spend my time than with the warm and welcoming team that helps these amazing kids!

While researching about non-profit organizations during my degree studies last year I came upon The Miracle Foundation, and was intrigued by the founder’s story, the goals and the apparent success of the organization. I have worked for local non-profits in the arts for many years, but I had no experience with a global initiative such as this. I wondered how a small organization that is headquartered in the US could possibly set realistic goals, while properly monitoring and evaluating operations in rural India – half way around the world. The Miracle Foundation’s inspiring founder Caroline Boudreaux was willing to meet with me last year to answer my questions and to inform me about the approach and the methods used. This organization not only serves a noble cause, but has developed tremendously effective parameters based on the globally agreed upon Rights of the Child. From the orphanage selection throughout the entire support process, The Miracle Foundation - with the help of its Indian office - measures and tracks these parameters regularly. The Miracle Foundation has created an amazing, scalable Business model that I hope will spread far beyond India, and continue to lift more and more orphans out of hopelessness and allow them to live in good health, experience nurture, care and education, and enter the adult world with confidence to live life to their full potential. I currently intern at The Miracle Foundation, because I can’t think of a better place to learn about the day to day challenges and solutions when operating a successful global non-profit organization. I highly recommend supporting the efforts of The Miracle Foundation by spreading the word, traveling to India with this organization and becoming an ambassador, or donating. Your money goes a long way: For example, a contribution of only $25 will feed an orphan for an entire month.

Caroline Boudreaux and Elizabeth Davis have developed a truly top-notch team and method to for any of the 800+ young Indians lucky enough to be in The Miracle Foundation childrens' homes in India. I was lucky enough to intern with them six years ago as I started a career in international development. Moving off experience with larger international NGOs, the Miracle Foundation team stands out as a group that combines the best in institutional practices with the agility and creativity of a young organization. They continue to cultivate an incredibly vibrant, connected scene of supporters and volunteers and donors and visitors and civic leaders in Austin (and increasingly beyond our lovely little city).

A quick if incomplete vignette of their activities includes:
-Making us better people in the States
-Building platforms that bring some of India's lowest resourced youth to heights they couldn't have imagined before
-Building local capacity and providing high quality jobs across rural regions of the the all-too-rapidly-urbanizing country of India
-Refining a novel approach to mitigating poverty...and unleashing young potential that would otherwise go tragically unrealized

The whole operation is grounding and invigorating, statistically sound and endlessly empathetic, and just thoroughly compelling. I can't wait to get to India myself, and highly recommend getting involved however and wherever you can. It's a scene and opportunity you really don't want to miss: I got more out of it than I could ever put in, and I warmly invite you to do the same.

You can truly feel confident that your donations will have a lasting impact on the lives of many orphans. The Miracle Foundation's unique and comprehensive work builds a foundation of care that lasts far beyond today. Their communications with donors about their work and the orphans they support warm your heart. The joy on the faces of the children is palpable. I personally know the founder, Caroline Boudreaux, who is one of the finest people I know. She works tirelessly (and joyfully) in her campaign to improve these children's lives.

As an intern, experiencing firsthand the tireless efforts of The Miracle Foundation team has been so inspiring. From the moment you step in the office, it is apparent that the staff and volunteers truly care about their work and the welfare of the orphans they support. I look forward to continuing to volunteer with TMF and travel to India in the future. The Miracle Foundation is an incredible organization benefiting the lives of so many deserving children.

The work being done by The Miracle Foundation is aspirational in that it seeks to go beyond what a traditional orphanage would provide. Helping orphans succeed in life by providing them an environment where there human rights are met is a noble goal and I am proud to support the organisation.

I have gone from stopping by the office of TMF 8 years ago to introduce myself to being an Ambassador and ESL teacher for the children to now being a Board Member. I am such an avid fan of what this organization has done and will do a lot more of it grows in the future while rolling out TMF model to other orphanages in India and perhaps beyond someday.

I have read somewhere that 5,000 children a day die in India from a preventable cause, often from the lack of clean water, adequate nourishment and proper medical attention. TMF provides these things and so much more. It provides a safe, secure and nurturing environment not only for the children but for the house mothers as well, many of whom came to TMF homeless and as victims of domestic violence.

I often wondered where Caroline Boudreaux came up with the name of the organization. On my last trip to one of the homes this past October, we were there during Dawali, the festival of lights. It is much like Christmas or Hanukkah in that it involves lots of light, good food and gift giving. On this visit I was introduced to three young people who had come home for the holiday from university. And they came home to the only home they had ever known. And as they stood before me I was stunned at how bright and confident they were and how they were filled with hope and promise. And it hit me....."This is the miracle. They are the miracle." These children from one of our homes were no college students and had futures bright and promising. Without TMF they could have ended up in domestic servitude or rag picking or working in a dangerous industrial site for extremely low wages. But not these children. It was clear that they were thriving in life and would continue to do so.

As so many reviews before me, I have to say the one common response we all share is: being a volunteer at the orphanages of THE MIRACLE FOUNDATION was most definitely a life changing experience. I set off on my adventure with excitement and wonder about what I was about to experience. My journey, which I know has just now begun, was this March, 2015. I shared this with a group of teens who were invited to visit and share in the lives of these amazing young children. We spent 5 days having fun, playing, dancing, sharing meals, holding hands, hugging, twirling, and doing crafts, plus much, much more....with groups of children that simply loved us being there. We didn't need to do anything more then just "be present" to see these children happy. Their simple needs and their gratitude for life was just heart-warming. In a world of ever growing technology, easy access to the best of everything and a constant flow of activity....it was a blessing to slow down and see the love and joy over a box of crayons, a toy car, coloring books, hair ties and nail polish, paper puppets, a game of crickett....
As a volunteer for TMF, we were privileged to join the kids in there homes and see the way TMF has provided for them. The children were happy, fed, and joyful. During our visit, they put on plays and shows that they spent many hours practicing. The thrill of having us as their audience was amazing. The Miracle Foundation assures the homes they partner with meet many standards of quality care and life opportunities for the children in the orphanages , but...it is truly the volunteers and the support of the communities outside of India that make the difference happen. My praise goes to to the founder of TMF, Caroline and the amazing staff she employs as well as the folks who take the challenge to visit rural India and meet these wonderful children, who now have an opportunity to live the life that some of us, completely take for granted. I know without a doubt, my life, my needs, my wants...are forever changed!!

I had the great opportunity to serve with the Miracle Foundation as an ambassador in India earlier this year. I can't express how much joy, love, fulfillment, fun and inspiration was shared among the kids, staff and fellow ambassadors. If you are looking to make a difference in the world and potentially change your life while you are serving others for the greater good, this is the place. I have made lifelong relationships from my journey and the impact of this beautiful spiritual loving country has burned a place on my soul.
Bravo Miracle!

I was lucky enough to go on a trip to India with The Miracle Foundation in January of 2015. It was a life changing trip for me but what The Miracle Foundation is doing is truly life changing work every day for the orphans of India. I was repeatedly amazed by the children and caretakers of the orphanage. The caretakers are doing an amazing job raising the children in a happy, healthy and loving environment. The children were the happiest, most loving children I have seen. TMF is doing amazing work and I am so proud to have been a small part of it. I highly recommend the organization for your donations and/or time.

I have recently returned from India as an "ambassador/volunteer" with The Miracle Foundation and miracles is exactly what I saw. Having never been to India before I didn't know what to expect; and I was amazed at the depth of what this non profit does. I saw first hand how money being raised was funneled back into creating pure good. These children were well fed, healthy and being educated. They had clothes, medicine and clean drinking water. They had ambitions for there futures and were getting the necessary tools to hopefully achieve these ambitions. These children are being taught social skills and life skills by real social workers. The Miracle Foundation is providing them with a sense of security and a home that otherwise would not be the case for these unfortunate children we call orphans.

We toured the slums of India after leaving the orphanage; and I came away with amazement at the vast contrast between children in the slums and the children in orphanages. My brief experience in India changed me and my life forever. I went there hoping to help in some small measure. I'm sure I did by playing, painting and decorating rooms, reading to them and giving out as many hugs as I could!!!! But what I got back was beyond my expectations and that was a true miracle. I got to see first hand how these children were thriving under circumstances beyond their control; and I felt satisfied when I left that they were well taken care of.

There are not enough stars in the world to be given to this non-profit. They are pure love...providing children with basic human rights and creating families where otherwise none would exist! I am counting the days until I can return with The Miracle Foundation to create more miracles for these deserving children.

I just recently learned about the Miracle Foundation by word of mouth at my job, and decided to make a donation around the holidays. I received a holiday card in the mail from the Miracle Foundation shortly thereafter, and thought it was such a lovely, personal gesture. I became even more impressed when someone from the Miracle Foundation reached out to me by email. We set up a time to chat, and she walked me through an amazing presentation of the work of the foundation, which really blew me away. I am so grateful that the Miracle Foundation came to my attention, and will definitely continue to participate in any way I can. They are a passionate, driven, and organized group of individuals who are committed to their mission--it's so inspiring to be a part of that.

As someone who has witnessed the progress and development of the Miracle Foundation from its very earliest days, I have nothing but admiration for the scale and quality of the service delivery of this amazing organisation. Over the past 15 years they have occasionally met with setbacks which would have demoralised and weakened lesser organisations - but they responded to these challenges by reorientating themselves with an enhanced, strengthened and robust methodological operational framework which is completely open and transparent. This gives additional confidence to all those who donate, ensuring that individual's gifts are respected, and secure the best possible outcome for the target population they are aimed to serve. I continue to follow the progress of this remarkable organisation with the highest regard and admiration.

I just returned from my second Ambassador trip with The Miracle Foundation. We went to a children's home in a town outside of Hyderabad and spent four wonderful days playing with the children. Friends ask me if it's "depressing" to go to orphanages in India or act as if I'm some kind of self-sacrificing martyr. It always surprises me because being with these children is so fun!

By the time The Miracle Foundation plans an Ambassador trip, the organization has already been sponsoring the home and raising its standards. Once we arrive the children are receiving plenty of balanced, nutritious meals, have received all their inoculations and health needs, are thriving at good schools with extra help from tutors and even a dance instructor, and are cared for by loving, involved house mothers newly trained by The Miracle Foundation. In short, spending time with these children in their loving community is a gift to us as Ambassadors.

For this last trip, the children were asked what they wanted. They overwhelmingly responded: books! As a librarian, I was thrilled to be part of opening their first on-site library and distributing the books! Here is a short video about the project: https://animoto.com/play/ItNxQ329XiVG1TbNMvGZOQ


Oftentimes we get discouraged by statistics coming from the developing world and even our own nation about poverty and homelessness. That India has over 25 million orphans is a daunting number. Still, through The Miracle Foundation, more and more children are being served and are growing up in healthful, loving communities. The word I would best use to describe these children is: joyful.

Before I went on my first Ambassador trip in 2013, people said it would "change my life," but I was a bit cynical. I've worked with children all my life as an educator and thought I was prepared. Nothing prepared me for the colorful, chaotic, crazy, celebratory culture that is India. These children have changed my life, and I feel so lucky to have been able to return to India. Some joke that I "drank the Kool-aid," but I am not alone. Everyone on both trips was moved to the same degree. We will never be the same and look forward to our next visit!

Please support The Miracle Foundation!

The best thing about the volunteer experience with The Miracle Foundation in India is that you are allowed to help in the way that you are most comfortable--they way that you can do the most good. Whether it's giving needed resources to growing children, teaching them, or sharing new experiences, your actions are going to provide a lasting hand-up and open their world. You can dive in and play and sing with kids all day, or help organize projects, or use your skills in cooking or plumbing or whatever. The core philosophy behind the TMF is sustainable growth, and as a volunteer you become part of that process.

After volunteering at the Miracle Foundation headquarters for a number of weeks, I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to India and experience firsthand the outstanding work that this wonderful Nonprofit is doing by implementing the Miracle Method. The staff, both here in Austin and in India, are 100% committed to serving these children to the fullest extent possible. It was apparent from my first moments at New Life that these kids are healthy, educated, well fed, and most importantly provided with a sense of well being and security. There literally is not a word strong enough to describe the amount of joy that will fill your heart when you are able to pick up one of these kids, give them a big hug, and be able to measure just how much of an impact is being made through their beaming smiles and contagious laughter.

I tell anyone who will listen about my experience as an Ambassador with the Miracle Foundation, about how the children are the absolute top priority, and how even the smallest donation can make an incredible impact on the lives of these kids. I am forever grateful for the work that they are doing, and am looking forward to serving as an Ambassador to these kids for many, many years to come.

This organization has a phenomenal staff and volunteer group. Knowing little about the work they do, I attended a Miracle Foundation event and walked away with an abundance of information about their cause in helping orphaned children and how their impact makes a difference. It is clear in the passion and energy shown by staff members and volunteers that they are dedicated to changing these children’s lives.

I have had a very good experience with the Miracle Foundation. I have met a number of the individuals responsible for managing the non-profit and have been very impressed with their dedication and work.

My experience with The Miracle Foundation this year has been one of the most memorable and impactful experiences of my life. I got to visit the Anbarasi home (and met the children from the Cornerstone home) in Tamil Nadu, India this past October and fell in love with over 200 children within a matter of days. They were happy, healthy, and so incredibly generous, and that was clearly a direct result of the impact that The Miracle Foundation has had on them.

The Miracle Foundation aims to meet all of the rights and needs of the children and raises each child out of starvation, poverty, and unhealthy conditions. Their success was evident in all of the smiles. The children were obviously very grateful for the change that came from TMF's existence in their lives. The children were provided three healthy, protein-rich meals a day, with options for seconds and thirds. Their clothing was clean, their water was clear, and their living conditions were safe. Since the incorporation of TMF, their playgrounds were cleared of harmful debris, they have running water for showers and bathrooms, and they have a beautiful library filled with books and toys. The children have regular checkups and access to guidance counselors, ensuring their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

The Miracle Foundation has created structure for the children. It has provided consistency and stability, and in that, each child clearly felt safe and secure. They have collected the best staff and house mothers who love the children as their own. In my conversations with the children, I learned of their hopes and dreams. One boy wanted to be a professional cricket player, a little girl wanted to be a doctor and heal people, another little boy wanted to become a teacher. Hearing these hopes for their future brought tears to my eyes, because I knew that TMF's presence allowed them to be in a place to dream so big. There was nothing holding them back from becoming so prosperous.

Some significant memories of my time in India include witnessing children play in a water park and theme park for the first time in their lives, putting Flash Tattoos on the boys, having the boys teach me how to play cricket and winning a game, reading to the children in the library, having a group of girls teach me how to speak Tamil, being fed by the children, serving the children food in the dining hall and at the theme park, painting candle holders for the upcoming Diwali celebration, taking pictures of the children learning how to do yoga, helping the kids create holiday ornaments, dancing with the children on bus rides, having little girls braid my hair, hugging and kissing every child as much as possible, being on the roof of the orphanage and looking down at all the beautiful lights for Diwali, watching the children watch the Diwali fireworks, and having many pockets of conversations with the children to learn more about who they are and what they want in the world.

I am honored to be an Ambassador for the The Miracle Foundation. This non-profit has impacted so many lives and I look forward to continuing my volunteering efforts with them and going back to India to spend more time with the children.

Miracle Foundation made it very straightforward for me to start to get involved and raised awareness within my school community.

I have been a supporter of the Miracle Foundation for over
five years. I am so impressed with the work they do in
serving the orphans in rural India. Their approach is
so refreshing as they build capacity in existing orphanages
versus trying to do everything themselves. The staff
of the Miracle Foundation in the US and India is top
notch and it is apparent how much they truly care
about their work and in generating measurable results.

My employer, Whole Foods Market, sponsored my trip to India last September with the Miracle Foundation. It was so impactful and rewarding to me as a person. This organization is truly making a gigantic contribution to the lives of these beautiful children.

During my time there, we built a new playground for the kids, and also painted murals on the orphanage walls. But more importantly, was the look of love in eyes of these children, as they realized someone from across the world cared about them and their wellbeing.

From beginning to end, I was in awe of the quality of the experience that The Miracle Foundation created for these kids. It was truly beautiful and I hope to do it again and again.

I recently visited the Anbarasi home in Southern India with The Miracle Foundation, and was forever changed by witnessing the real impact this organization is having on orphaned children. While volunteering my time in India, I fell in love with the children and fell in love with the organization.

The Miracle Foundation has a heart for children - and seeks to create a loving, stable environment in which these orphans can grow to meet their full potential. The idea is to provide these kids with a happy, healthy, "normal" childhood - in which they feel loved and supported, and understand that they matter and haven't been forgotten.

To do this, The Miracle Foundation moves existing orphanages through a transformation: getting kids healthy, vaccinated, and well fed; installing clean running water; transforming the orphanage from an institution into a home; hiring additional house mothers and creating a sense of family; introducing child-led committees and life skills classes, and so forth. All of which are meant to address the "12 rights of every child," based on the UN's resolution of such rights.

For me, volunteering in India was an opportunity to be a loving male presence and influence in the lives of young boys and girls alike. And I am both proud and honored to be associated with this incredible organization, which is run by passionate individuals who believe in the basic rights of every child.

And the children are fully aware of how different their lives would be if it weren't for The Miracle Foundation - which has changed their personal stories forever.

I first became involved with The Miracle Foundation (TMF) in 2008 when I traveled with them to India with a family friend. It was such an amazing and life-changing experience! It was great to see first hand the work that they do in these orphanages. We witnessed the grand opening of Sooch Village, one of their newest orphanages at the time. The children were assigned to houses, each with a Housemother. This allowed for the children to really connect with a small family-style unit. And traveling with them was a breeze! They had all the travel itineraries and transportation down to a science. You didn't have to worry about any of the travel arrangements and got to spend your time in India enjoying the people and helping out in the orphanages. Fast forward to 2014 and now I help volunteer in the main office in Austin. Everyone in the office is so friendly and welcoming. It's such a great organization run by great people with giving hearts. I'm so glad I found out about them, and so glad that I can give back to them through volunteering. Thanks, TMF!

What an amazing opportunity to give back to the world community! I joined with The Miracle Foundation in October 2014 to visit the Anbarasi Children's Home in southern India and fell in love with the kids, house mothers, and my fellow travelers. TMF goes above and beyond what you would expect from a non-profit organization that helps orphans. The goals are not only based on the United Nations Children's Bill of Rights but also are measured, attainable, and realistic. Homes are required to meet high standards to be able to keep their partnership with TMF. Examples: Financial books must be open and transparent. The hiring of a local, certified social worker is a prerequisite. Children are fed three nutritious meals daily, plus two snacks a day. School uniforms are purposefully made to match the uniforms of their peers that have parents. Each child serves on a committee, which gives them the opportunity to have a voice in their day-to-day life. The kids get to have fun! We took approximately 200 children from Anbarasi and Cornerstone, to an amusement park for the day. Yes! We really did!The bus ride was the BEST. Bollywood music, a blinking Ganesh icon, and kids dancing and having a grand time. Here's the deal about TMF. It's not just about surviving. It's about THRIVING. TMF provides the childhood that every child needs and deserves. As for my own personal experience with The Miracle Foundation. In short, I have made friends for LIFE.

I had the honor to visit the Anwesha childrens home about a month ago and it was a great experience. The house mothers and everyone involved in the education and care for the children were amazing. The Miracle foundation staff and Anwesha administration gave us the details of the improvements over the years at the home. I fell in love with everyone here and I am definitely coming back to volunteer and will continue to support the Miracle foundation.

I had the opportunity to visit the Anwesha home about a month ago and I was really impressed by the care level and health of the children. They were so fun to be with and from the stories we were told, the home has come really far in just a year. I feel like Miracle Foundation has a very targeted goal that sets them apart from a lot of other nonprofits. They are about one thing and they do it really well!

I went with the Miracle Foundation to see the Anbarasi and Cornerstone Children's Home. I loved everything about my trip. Miracle Foundation is amazing. They have excellent standards and in turn attract others who believe in that standard. I have never seen such a dedicated group of people. They love what they do. The results of what they do is clearly seen in the quality of the homes. These children are well cared for. They excel in school due, in part, to tutors who are available. At Anbarasi three girls have graduated and are going to college to be social workers. They are healthy. But above all they love life, and enjoy being kids, playing with their family unit and others in the home.

I just returned from Anwesha Children's Home, outside the North East Indian town of Agartala. From the moment my teammates and I arrived, we were blown away by the hospitality offered to us by the staff and kids. The food was amazing, the education and healthcare is on point, and it is truly a special place to be.

I have been assisting in the finance area since March 2014 and am impressed with the entire organization. Hearing the story of how the organization was started from the founder (Caroline) is truly inspirational. I'm sure she has told the story hundreds of times, but you wouldn't know it from the raw emotions and passion she shows.

Empowering children to reach their their full potential, one orphan at a time is the mission of The Miracle Foundation. It really isn't a slogan, the amazing board of directors and staff live and breathe this on a daily basis. They are all very dedicated to the children and in helping to improve not only their daily lives, but their futures as well. Many generous donors help make the mission possible and The Miracle Foundation are excellent stewards. I'm proud and honored to be associated with this fine organization.

I have been associated with The Miracle Foundation (TMF) since 2007, initially as a volunteer and donor, and now working for this incredible non-profit organization. TMF transforms orphanages from barely surviving to totally thriving, and the staff, interns, and volunteers are truly awesome to work with. The Miracle Foundation's Method is working, by providing food, education, love, and training. It is remarkable to see the vast improvements of the children's health and education, and the life changes to the orphaned children.

I am an intern at The Miracle Foundation this fall 2014 school semester. I applied for this internship because I wanted to learn how nonprofit organizations run and see the heart behind them. I got more than I expected. Everyone who works for this Foundation has a heart for what they are doing and a passion to truly better the lives of children without families. This is more than just a place they work. It is so inspirational to come into the office and hear stories of how we are actually impacting the lives of orphans in India. This nonprofit goes above and beyond just rebuilding orphanages; the employees really do care for the children and improve their lives as mush as they can. I am so honored to be playing a roll in this organization for this semester.

I volunteered with the Miracle Foundation at an orphanage in South India through a trip that was funded by my employer two months ago (September 2014). I was able to not only witness first hand the incredible work that the foundation does for the orphanage but also get to work hands on with them to make a difference in the lives of all the children. The Miracle Foundation impacts the lives of these children in various ways making sure they are provided with adequate nutrition, hygiene, school materials such as uniforms, tutors for homework, transportation to and from school, and more. While I was there I helped build a new playground for the children and helped them paint educational murals on their study hall walls. I highly recommend getting involved with this organization !

I travelled to India in September 2014 with the Miracle Foundation on a trip sponsored by my employer. I had an amazing time and was thoroughly impressed by the work that the Miracle Foundation was doing. They are genuine and candid about their successes and challenges. Their impact is tangible and seen on the smiling faces of the children at the homes they partner with.

I was able to travel to India in February with the Miracle Foundation to get a glimpse of what they do for orphans. We met kids from two different orphanages and were able to see and hear how their lives have been transformed because of the support they receive from the Miracle Foundation. We ate with them and saw that they are being well fed. The fact that they were willing to share their snacks was an indication that they are getting plenty to eat. I was able to spend time with a small group and listen to them read from the new books they had been given. Their happy faces told the story of the love and support that they are getting. The Miracle Foundation has developed an effective model for measuring accountability in the orphanages they sponsor to assure that the kids are getting what they need and deserve; but they also provide the love and support for caregivers that, in turn, creates a nurturing environment. The Miracle Foundation is transforming lives!

I traveled to India with the Miracle Foundation in summer of 2013 and had the opportunity to see their work first hand. The foundation's commitment to children's rights is evidenced by the happy, healthy children that we met at the Anbarasi Children's Home. The children we met are well nourished, lively and engaged in their studies. They're surrounded by loving, dedicated caretakers who are building a home and family environment for kids who might otherwise be on their own. The work of the Miracle Foundation is making a real difference in the lives of orphans in India! Additionally, the foundation's development of a sustainable support model for children's homes promises that their approach can be expanded across multiple organizations and/or countries over time.

I began volunteering with The Miracle Foundation almost a year ago, and the experience has been even more fulfilling than I ever dreamed it would be. The model utilized by this organization to enhance the lives of the orphans has been carefully constructed and evaluated, and its effectiveness is remarkable. The change they have made in the lives of the children is truly inspirational. The dedication, passion and perseverance of the staff and volunteers is most impressive...it is the greatest asset this organization holds.

The Miracle Foundation provides a very unique model for orphanage care in India, where each child has a stable and secure environment in which to grow and flourish. I have volunteered with The Miracle Foundation for several years, and I absolutely love this non-profit organization! I continue to be inspired and humbled by the wonderful work the staff, interns, and volunteers are accomplishing half a world away. The volunteer work also has been very rewarding and fulfilling.

The Miracle Foundation is a non-profit whose aim is to transform broken orphanages into developed homes for the children throughout India. This organization truly believes that there are twelve rights of the child, some of which are so basic--such as the right to clean water and electricity. Being a volunteer at this organization was not only a great opportunity, it really changed my thinking. I took the simple things in life entirely for granted up until this point, and it really is so humbling to witness firsthand how much impact this non-profit leaves on its 10 (and growing) homes, and more importantly, the children within them.

Aside from its amazing mission, saying that The Miracle Foundation is comprised of amazing people would be the understatement of the year. It is one thing to say the staff is warm & welcoming, but they truly made me feel a part of not only the big stuff, but also the smallest of details. I really felt as if I was playing a part in helping these kids, and it's so inspiring to see. I feel so blessed to have been part of this organization this summer, and I'm planning to keep in touch for as long as I can :)

To The Miracle Foundation: Never did I think that a volunteer opportunity would impact me this much. You guys really opened my eyes to the more important things in life, and exposed that helping these kids could really turn into being one of my passions. Thank you so much! Amazing organization, amazing people.

I was a summer intern for The Miracle Foundation in 2014. What drew me to TMF were the twelve rights on which they base their practices. The first time I walked into the home on Sixth Street, I was well welcomed with more than my fair share of warm smiles and friendly faces. I could tell at that moment that these people were extremely passionate about what they do. Everyday, everybody works so hard to empower orphans to reach their full potential, and I'm so beyond happy I chose to work at TMF. I will definitely try to come back if the opportunity arises. The people here have first-handedly changed the lives of so many kids around India, and I'm very grateful I got to be a part of their wonderful work this summer.

For the summer of 2014, I had the opportunity to work for this organization as an intern. My first day here and any other day I came in was filled with warm welcomes and smiles. I was amazed in how each staff member was passionate about the mission of the organization in his/her own special way. They were very approachable whenever I needed help or had questions. The Miracle Foundation's model for building a sustainable environment for the children is remarkable and life-changing. My favorite part of the experience was getting to learn more about each of the homes and the kids in each of the homes. My time here so far at The Miracle Foundation is great! I would definitely recommend this group and am excited for what is there to come.

I was introduced to this charity by a friend of mine from a local networking group that works for the foundation. I was blown away by the sad state of the orphan in India and how this group is working to rapidly improve the lives and futures of these children. Having been involved with different charitiies over the years, I was blown away with their process, the accountability that they demand of the orphanages they work with and the absolute efficiency of the organization. 83 cents of every dollar given ends up helping the end client, which is terrific, however they are not happy with this and are trying to improve. I would highly recommend your support of what they are doing.

I had heard about the foundation a while ago but missed learning more at that time. My wife had the opportunity to attend their presentation at a fund raiser and was just blown away by the work they are doing. That triggered me to finally look into their work and it is truly inspirational. Their grass root work and the solid foundation model is changing lives of so many children and providing the opportunities that every child should have. We right away became a monthly donor as I contact them for the volunteer opportunities. I have personally known their chairman for a while and also had the opportunity to meet with one of the directors today. It’s just a wonderful group of people trying to make a difference in the lives of these well deserving kids. I feel so proud to be a small part of their program and can’t wait to get more involved in their work.

I learned about this organization after my sister traveled with them to India and decided that it would be a summer well spent interning here. I could not have been more right. The work that The Miracle Foundation does is truly inspirational. Their model is impeccable and effective and the people are incredible. My time in this office has been productive, yet laid back as all all of the staff and other volunteers are incredibly personable and passionate. I have truly enjoyed my summer so far and cannot wait to continue my relationship with this organization.

This summer (2014) I interned with The Miracle Foundation and loved it! First, the entire staff was so kind and generous even though I was just an intern. I felt like I really got to know the people in the office. I was also so pleased when everyone made a conscience effort to keep me and the other interns involved. They explained things when we didn't know what was going on and always encouraged questions. I also felt like I was actually helping the organization, rather than just going on coffee runs. I was given thorough training and then given self-paced assignments that were reasonable but that also allowed me to learn a ton. My time there was great! If you are looking for a group of caring, passionate, loving, kind individuals who are working for an amazing cause, get involved! I'm so excited about where The Miracle Foundation is headed.

I have made three trips to India with The Miracle Foundation. It has changed my life. The staff is incredible and the changes they have made to the lives of hundreds of children in India can't be measured. Caroline Boudreaux should get the Nobel Peace Prize for her work in India. We love TMF and will continue to support it for years to come.

I’ve worked in the social sector for over 20 years as a CEO, consultant and Board Member. I am honored to assist this phenomenal organization. If you are not familiar with their work please consider supporting them as they have 1) strong leadership/ deep expertise (Staff, Board & Volunteers) 2) scalable/ proven model and 3) excellent ROI, a game changing organization that empowers and impacts the lives of thousands.

I have been a Volnteer at the Miracle Foundation , and I am so proud of their work , it has been a lovely experiece to me . It is a great organization that realy helps the children . I will continue to help them and I would to encourage people to participate in our Mother's Day Campaign . Don't hestitate let's give a child a happy childhood .........www.miraclefoundation.org

I recently spent a week at one of the children's home they support in India. It was one of the most memorable events in my life. What a difference they have made to the lives of children in India. While I was was there I met a man who had been there prior to the foundation taking on this home and he said that the difference in the facility was like night and day since they (Miracle Foundation) arrived. The children were happy,they received health care, three meals a day, clean clothes, did not have to sleep on the ground, had an in house degreed social worker, clean water, and much improved facilities.

i have been on the board on The Miracle Foundation for 6 years now and over that time i have seen this organization go from strength to strength. Caroline Boudreaux and her team continue to impress me with their initiative, passion and focus. Their desire to make an impact on the orphan problem in India and the developing world never wavers. i had the good fortune to visit an orphanage this year that we have been working with and funding for less than a year. To see first hand, the impact that TMF is having on the daily lives of the kids was amazing. This organization is truly moving the needle and i look forward to seeing what the future brings.

I've worked with the Miracle Foundation for several years now. Their true passion for making a real difference is very real. My company has been involved in helping non-profits define their brand and communicate their core values to their audience and rarely have I seen such a great passion for a good cause combined with actual smart business acumen. They transform poorly run orphanages into solid, well performing organizations with MUCH better outcomes for the children and much greater efficiency for every dollar spent. Everyone wins here in true fashion.

After donating to the The Miracle Foundation on a monthly basis for several years, I wanted to see first hand how the program was run "on the ground". My trip as a TMF Ambassador was in February, 2014.
Having just returned, I can heartily say this charity is doing a fabulous job of implementing their mission as it is stated. Experiencing the life of the orphanage for a few days was a chance to see the facilities and staff at work, as well as to have fun playing with the children. It was lovely. I can give the highest rating to this wonderful non-profit. As a result of my trip, I have not only decided to continue the financial support, but to increase it.

I became a TMF Ambassador this year (2014) and visited Savalee home. Of course visiting and spending time with the 48 sweet and grateful children that live there is life changing for me as an Ambassador. But for me the real learning was getting educated on the operations of the TMF organization by the CEO herself at the orphanage. And realizing just how transparent and sophisticated the TMF systems are in making sure that every dollar that is raised and spent in India goes to benefit these children in the homes. It is done consistently with love, care and grace. Seeing how well this organization executes on their vision and mission makes me even more determined to support them. I am already planning my return back to this TMF supported home in the next 2 years.

Full disclosure: I am a finance guy, and my wife is on the TMF advisory board.

Together we are HUGE fans of The Miracle Foundation, and recommend it as a top tier “great non-profit,” for three main reasons: 1). Its outstanding, savvy, and passionate leadership (Caroline Boudreaux and Elizabeth Davis); 2). It has the hallmarks of a well-run, highly accountable company; and 3). (Most of all) they succeed in their mission to turn under-resourced orphanages into real homes, so abandoned kids can grow up to become healthy productive citizens.

That alone makes it a great investment. Austin is a lively progressive city that produces new thinking and global brands like Whole Foods and Home Away, and TMF is another big idea that is reaching around the world to make a substantial difference—and they have the metrics and thriving kids to prove it.

The God adventure to Bethel Orphanage through MFI: The Lord has such a heart for Orphan children and so we have seen through MFI. In a word I could say that MFI is a hope for our children at Bethel Orphanage. MFI little by little taught us to love the unlovable and to reach beyond the borders of our walls. We praise the Lord for His wonderful works through MFI. We express our immense gratitude to MFI for transforming the lives of our children to have better health care, nutritious meal and educational opportunities; without their support and encouragement, what the children enjoy today would have been impossible for us. For when the ear heard, it called me blessed, and when the eye saw, it gave witness of me, because I delivered the poor who cried for help and the orphan who had no helper. Job 29.11
May God bless you MFI for being so caring towards the needy children. Thank you, God bless you and all our benefactors. You are all in our constant prayers. We are eternally grateful to you.

TMF is a great organization. I had the honor of visiting two of the orphanages and they were amazing facilities. The children were so happy, well cared for, and health. I could tell that TMF had a huge impact on these children and their house mothers. TMF has created a very nurturing environment for these children where they can achieve all of their goals and dreams.

Wow, this organization is amazing. The business plan they have created is world-class and revolutionary. TMF is saving children's live's and creating tremendous quality of life for everyone of the orphans it reaches. I recently attended two of the orphanages with this organization and the progress these orphanages have had since TMF came on board is off the charts. Every right of a child and their progress is carefully taken into consideration. It is measurable and TMF is doing it with impeccable detail and total compassion for the children. I was so proud to be involved with a caring organization with such high and innovative standards. It is also nice to know first hand that every cent of every dollar our family is donating is utilized to it's highest power.

I've worked in child welfare and with many non-profits in my 35 year career. It was, and is, my great privilege to know the inside workings of The Miracle Foundation and to be able to write this review. I've never encountered a non-profit that is more well run. TMF adheres to ethical business practices, shows integrity in their dealings with donors and clients, plus they are guided by deeply held moral values. Frankly I see a lot of non-profits that have the moral values, but no head for business, and in the end everyone suffers. I am so proud to be a part of this organization that can do it all with equal talent and attention. I volunteer for them, I donate money to them, I work for them on occasion, I present to their BOD when asked, and I go to India to support their in-country social workers..........in other words I see the work from all angles and have yet to see anything that makes me feel anything but pride. You can no doubt find other organizations that are this fine, but you won't find one that's better!

The Miracle Foundation is the #1 charitable organization that I have supported since my trip in 2009 to visit three of the orphanages! I am planning a return trip in October 2014 to see the remarkable progress that I know the TMF has made in the past few years. Without a doubt, the funds given to TMF are the best investment that anyone could make, anyone who wishes to make a difference in our world. I am committed to support The Miracle Foundation as long as I live, and then some.

Amazing people doing amazing, innovative, necessary work! I had the privilege of going to India with a group this month and was able to see the radical improvements this organization has made for so many children in India. The leadership, business and funding models, organization and motivation of TMF's leadership is so humbling..and motivating. I'm so grateful for TMF!

Truly the experience of a lifetime! I had the honor of visiting 2 orphanages on my trip, one that had been with the Miracle Foundation for 2 years and another that had just signed on. To be able to see the vast difference in both the facility and the happiness in the children's faces between the 2 was enough for me to understand how big an impact TMF has in each home. The home that TMF had been in partner with for 2 years already had kids who were confident, happy, and healthy. My biggest shock was seeing how happy and full of life these children were. They were dreaming big and studying hard to fulfill their goals. I was fully prepared to be faced with sad, hungry kids, but instead was floored at the generosity and selflessness these children embodied. I had more to learn from them than they could learn from me. The Miracle Foundation is creating safe, supportive environments for these young people to grow up in. They are making the world a friendlier place for these kids, and equipping them with essential life skills to go into the world having been fully loved.

This is an amazing charity. I have on and off been a donor for a number of years and there are many reasons why . The founder of the Miracle Foundation, Carolyn, and her staff, are truly remarkable. The lives of hundreds of forgotten, homeless children and babies have been enriched on so many levels. This is a great chaity to donate to because you can be assured that the money is carefully, wisely, and properly used in the most honest and productive way. The Miracle Foundation contines to grow, transform, and bring love, happiness, health care, nourishing food, education and a future to so many otherwise helpless children. To all of you who work day after day to make this happen for these little ones, I offer my humble thank you for your love and dedication.

Working with the Miracle Foundation in India was by far one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

We have been involved with the Miracle Foundation as donors for the past couple of years. These are a delightful group of people to interact with and who support such a wonderful cause. We feel it's important to share with our children the reality that much of the world is less privileged than they and that it is our duty to help those in need. No cause illustrates this point more poignantly than that of the Miracle Foundation and their work with the orphanages in India.

After taking my trip to India and spending a week with the children at Anbarasi, my "once in a lifetime trip" has turned into just my "first trip" to India.

I started out as a volunteer, have since become a donor and spokesperson for TMF. I will continue to spread the word of the great work that is done by this group of individuals. Each person that I have met are devoted beyond words and have put together a model of orphanage reformation that will affect the lives of many, many children. Love you all!

Traveling to India with The Miracle Foundation was an amazing experience! Barbara, the travel coordinator had everything organized and under control and made everything seem effortless while we know that it takes amazing patience, flexibility & tireless commitment to coordinate these trips.

My daughter and I directed the mural painting at the Bethel home. Though we came to serve and lift up it was us that were treated like royalty and left with our hearts, bodies minds & spirits inspired!

This is an wonderful organization that truly is positively impacting lives!

Enough cannot be said about the wonderful and inspirational work being done in India by the Miracle Foundation to help alleviate the issues in Orphanages by providing skills, training and education to children and the adult care takers. Experiencing it first hand as a volunteer on the ground was the most rewarding gift I've ever given myself, and I highly recommend it to everyone. One thing is to talk about taking action and another is taking the action, and I am proud to be associated with Miracle Foundation which understands the need for action.

An exceptionally well run and focused charity doing real work to give India's orphans a chance at true life change through education, nutrition and by providing a caring and loving environment. I not only donate I have been on two missions overseas to see their work and to work alongside their housemothers.

The Miracle Foundation is truly bringing miracles to the children living in orphanages in India. I enjoy volunteering at this foundation. Caroline and the staff members are so dedicated in providing education, caring, nutritious food, good living conditions and HOPE for their future. Their tireless work amazes me and inspires me. It is making a real difference in the lives of these children.

I interned with The Miracle Foundation this past Spring and it was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. Not only is the staff truly a family, but they be sure to include their interns into that family as well. I always felt appreciated and everyone was always so caring, Very few organizations take the time to appreciate the work and effort of their interns, and I'm so lucky to have had a company that did appreciate me.

Furthermore, what TMF does is so crucial the development of India. Being of indian origin myself, and having grown up in the States, I have a particular appreciation for everything TMF does. Their developmental approaches and strategies for the orphanages they run in India are very relevant I can say this because one of my big projects was to evaluate all of the health information of the children in all the orphanages.

Moreover, TMF always works with their interns' schedules, understanding if I needed to work from home during exam weeks, or make up hours earlier/later. I'm so lucky to have interned with them, because it was one of the best opportunities of my life.

After volunteering for two weeks with the Miracle Foundation I not only was blown away by the love and compassion this foundation possesses but how totally REAL they are. Real smiles, real heart ache and real tears for a better life for these children. Ive not only changed as a person but working with a team of genuine people like Miracle Foundation has made me desire more purpose for my own life. The Miracle Foundation is the type of non-profit you are looking to support, one that puts real smiles on children's faces.

I was introduced to the Miracle Foundation in 2005 and after witnessing the genuine passion that all involved had for the children in India, my touched heart was left with no choice. For the first time in my life, I got personally involved with a non-profit beyond simply supporting financially.

In 2008, I did something I thought I would never do... I accepted their invitation to join them on an 11-day trip to India. It changed the trajectory of my life. While touring the beautiful sites of New Delhi and Agra (Taj Mahal), we witnessed many homeless children begging (some of them intentionally maimed so their master can get more money) and living on the streets and nasty shanties. I had seen poverty before but nothing like this.

On day 3, we visited our first Miracle Foundation Children’s Home of the trip. By American standards, the facility was nothing fancy, to say the least. But compared to what I had seen so far, it was an oasis.
We were met by a few of the House Mothers on the front porch of the main building.

We were then given a cool glass of water and asked to take a seat for a little show. A few minutes later, a dozen beautiful kids came around the corner. Their smiles and eyes lit up the sky. It was 2:00 in the afternoon on a bright, sunny day and these children instantly doubled the illumination. I was blown away.

I immediately absorbed that this is how a child’s light shines when they are loved, adored, and given one-on-one attention. Beyond the nutrition, health, clothing and housing needs, these children have an abundance of what, I believe, each and every one of us crave… a “knowing” that they matter. It was one of those beautiful things I’ve ever experienced in my entire life.

I got involved with this incredible organization to give to those less fortunate… but it is I that has received the gift.

Thank you, Miracle Foundation, for letting me be a part of the family!

I have been supporting the Miracle Foundation for several years. I strongly believe in the mission, and have great confidence that the dollars I donate truly make a difference in the lives of children. The foundation is very transparent and does a great job of communicating with donors.

I've been involved with The Miracle Foundation as a volunteer for over a year but in March I had the opportunity to travel to India with The Miracle Foundation and to see first hand the amazing difference this organization makes. Uniquely, I got to visit two of the SEVEN orphanages currently being served by The Miracle Foundation (that's nearly 600 children). One of the orphanages was so new to the organization that none of the programming or interventions had begun. The other had been part of TMF for 13 months. The difference was night and day - quality/quantity of food, health of the kids, emotional stability of the kids was dramatically different between the two. I have never been more convinced of the difference being made by this amazing organization. Plus, I fell in love with kids at both orphanages! They broke my heart and then filled it up again to overflowing. Months later, my heart still skips a beat every time I think of them or see a picture. I am now a monthly donor and proud to be partnering with the amazing Miracle Foundation.

I have travelled to India twice and visited children's homes served by The Miracle Foundation. The work this organization is doing epitomizes the true meaning of charity. It has brought kindness, health and perhaps most significantly hope into the lives of hundreds of children.

I am new to the board of this organization but was one of it's first donors when it began a number of years ago. I have admired the founder (Caroline Boudreaux) for many years. I had written checks and hosted events for them, but it was not until I went to India that I really understood the impact it was making.

My wife and I spent a night in one of the orphanages and it was a "game changer". To see with your own eyes and feel with your own heart the difference this miracle is making in these childrens' lives is remarkable. To have clean water, healthy food, an education and to live safely is something many of us take for granted. when you provide this to these "throw away" children, a true miracle happens.

I believe a meaningful life is one where you try to help others and to leave the world a better place. TMF literally transforms hundreds of lives on a daily basis. We have committed $250,000 in total for the next five years to put our money where our heart is. I would urge anyone to check out this organization and the great work they do!

As a Social Worker at 'Anbarasi Social Action', located in the Southern part of India which has been supported by 'Miracle Foundation', I am very happy to work for them because they have provided an excellent platform for me render by service to my entire satisfaction.

Particularly, ' Miracle Foundation ' has provided seven house mothers to work for 140 children in the ratio of 20:1 for extending tender care to the young buds- with mother's touch for which they have been trained by Miracle Foundation to mould the kids as good citizen to their society.

To develop the personality and inter-personal communication, the life skills education and career counselling conducted by experts have helped the children of Anbarasi in a great manner for which I should thank " Miracle Foundation" for sponsoring such wonderful opportunities which will certainly make lots of changes in the young minds. With Miracle foundation this home is growing with nourishment, vigor and enlightenment.

Great Miracle has happened in all walks of our life of our children because of "Miracle Foundation" particularly for providing them nutritious food, good health and useful education.

With the help of Miracle 'Foundation", our inmates are enjoying motherly care by appointing on House mother for every twenty children apart from a Medical Assistant and a social worker to ensure individual attention to each and every children in home.

The support rendered by 'Miracle Foundation' to our orphanage is incomparable with which we are sure that we will reach the goal of our vision.

The running water system provided by 'Miracle Foundation ' to our home under the Ambassador project is immaculate for which we would like to thank them on behalf of our imates, staff and members of Anbarasi Social Action.

I had a great opportunity to be part of a tour to Bethel home in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh in South India in March 2013. I work in the wildlife tourism area as a Naturalist. It was a life-changing experience for me as an individual and as a human being. The love and affection showed by those children will be etched in my heart forever. Never ever before in my life I had so much positive vibes, all in few days. The passion showed by the house-mothers and the entire support staff made me realize that humanity is still not lost in the crazy modernized world of consumerism & materialism. I thank TMF and its team for providing me an opportunity to be embraced by the love and smiles of those twinkling little stars.

In my capacity as Executive Director of a private foundation in Austin, Texas I have had the opportunity to work with The Miracle Foundation for the past eight years. I have been privy to data available to the public as well as internal conversations, decision making and fact gathering processes within the organization. The Miracle Foundation is a sound entity with full transparency led by an innovative and ever persistent executive staff and board. At the same time they have changed the individual lives of many Indian children over the past years they have worked tirelessly to analyze their progress and steadily increase their effectiveness. Where most organizations are satisfied with the first goal, The Miracle Foundation personnel are never satisfied and continually push harder to help more children in more holistic ways. There is no organization I would recommend higher than The Miracle Foundation for effectiveness of the dollar used to achieve the stated goal! They continue to surpass expectations!

I have been volunteering or working with The Miracle Foundation (TMF) since 2008. They are incredible non-profit dedicated to changing the lives of orphans in India. They have a team (both in the US & in India) that works tirelessly to implement proven procedures that truly make a difference in the lives of the children. I have experienced this first hand only a daily bases working with them and then when I traveled to India with TMF in 2011. It was an incredible life changing experience!!! I cannot say enough about this trip and how "hands-on" everyone was. I felt like every little thing made a difference, including the things I got to do. Those included spending quality time with infants & toddlers, doing arts & crafts with the older kids and even yoga. I also helped log information about the children such a medical records & photos. These things not only provided information to the caregivers but it helped the children short & long term. TMF wants these kids to be cared for beyond the age of 18. They want them to know they have a life long family commitment from TMF! All the volunteers and Ambassadors who participate, recognize this and that's why they continue to support the organization year after year. They too, develop lasting relationships with the children as they are able to see a tangible difference their time and money makes. I would encourage anyone interested in changing the lives of orphans to pursue The Miracle Foundation. Get involved today and start making a difference in the life of a child tomorrow!

I have been donating monthly to The Miracle Foundation since 2003 as child's sponsor. It is a wonderful way to give back to the world. Helping an orphan that may someday change our world....by knowing I have given them the proper diet, healthcare, socialization and education.

The organization gets better year after year....from it's humble, grass-roots beginnings to the formidable non-profit NGO it has become today. I have been with them almost every step of the way.

And going beyond just being a donor, I have traveled with the organization and worked at 4 different homes that they sponsor. That way I have seen first-hand, where the money is going and the great progress that happens with a good non-profit.

I highly recommend getting involved!

The Miracle Foundation has reset the bar for how to run a non-profit in a caring, organized, and responsible way. They have a unique way of connecting volunteers and children who live far from each other, yet who both benefit deeply in a bond through the organization . When you work with The Miracle Foundation, you know that your time, talents and/or funds are going to be used effectively and efficiently and that there will be measurable impacts to the lives of each and every child engaged with TMF. I think that The Miracle Foundation's NEST (Nurture, Empower, Strengthen and Transform) program provides a smart, scalable way to ensure that their learnings and framework can be implemented by dedicated groups who are going to follow their proven model. Their model provides an effective way to carefully evaluate that the orphanage is using funds wisely and in accordance with their standards. These standards are the different between these amazing children getting access to clean water, good food, education and a loving house mother. I've been so moved by the passion of everyone involved in The Miracle Foundation and have enjoyed my advisory role. I've gained much more from it than I have given (a common theme in the reviews). My goal is to take my daughters to India when they are the right age and to experience it with The Miracle Foundation.

The Miracle Foundation takes the non-profit sector to an entirely new level. With their level of expertise, patience and unconditional love for the children of India you are able to see first-hand just how much hard work and heart goes into this organization. I encourage everyone I know to donate, become a sponsor and travel to India so they can see for themselves the miracles in action.

In the Spring of 2011 and 2012 I traveled to India with The Miracle Foundation. The Miracle Foundation team does an outstanding job of making you feel comfortable and happy the entire trip. Aside from their incredible amount of professionalism, care taking abilities and intelligence, the orphanages they support speak for themselves. I went to India with The Miracle Foundation thinking I would change a child's life but little did I know the children are the ones that changed my life forever. During each tour, we worked on a project for whatever home we visited & never have I seen such a happy and grateful group of kids.

The team members of The Miracle Foundation do an outstanding job of using your time wisely, allowing time to yourself and being open to ideas and input. Even after our trip, the Miracle Foundation did a wonderful job keeping in touch with me ; to see how I was doing, how the trip went & what I would change in the future. At first, I thought they were kidding when they told us you return to the states with a new Miracle Foundation family. But enough time has passed that I know they were not kidding; I really do have a family within this foundation.

The Miracle Foundation is an honest, unconditionally loving & hard-working organization. This organization has become part of my family & part of who I am and I would recommend this organization to anyone and everyone that is wanting to be part of a miracle.

The Miracle Foundation is a unique organization that effectively combines an incredible passion for a cause with well thought out implementation and monitoring. We know that our donations make a difference because The Miracle Foundation shows us. They routinely communicate how the children are improving, even down to their height, weight, and over-all health, through independent monitoring. It's an amazing organization that is truly making a difference in hundreds of children's lives.

In my summer interning at The Miracle Foundation, I have been continually impressed by the work of the staff here in the US and the staff overseas in India. Everyone involved with this organization is fully committed to the welfare of these wonderful children.

The Miracle Foundation partners with existing children's homes to provide orphans with a depth of care that exceeds basic needs. Children receive nutritious meals, medical check ups, life skills trainings, educational support, and more. The goal is to allow orphan children, some of the most vulnerable in our society, the opportunity to reach their full potential. The stories and reports of progress I heard are incredible indicators that this model works.

As a social work intern, I felt the staff did an excellent job of providing me with projects that allowed me to meaningfully contribute to the organization. They gave me tasks that fit my interests and also encouraged me to learn and grow. I highly recommend volunteering here to anyone who is interested!

The Miracle Foundation is an exceptional non-profit that is truly passionate about their mission: to help children living in orphanages in India. The people who work at The Miracle Foundation are phenomenal and working here feels like being a part of a family. Everyone is welcoming and ensures you get the most out of your time volunteering with them. The staff members are also incredible at their jobs which provides interns and volunteers with a huge amount of resources to advance their skills.

I first learned of The Miracle Foundation in one of my classes as a UT undergraduate student and heard their founder, Caroline Boudreaux, tell her story. Besides the obvious good the foundation is doing for the children, I was also struck by the foundation's transparency both monetarily and by the positive effects they have on the children served.

This summer, I worked with The Miracle Foundation as their medical intern before moving to earn my Masters degree in Public Health. This internship was a perfect fit, and furthermore, the staff ensured that the projects I worked on were of interest to me and would help develop skills I could use during my graduate school education and beyond. I hope that in the future, I can donate my time again to The Miracle Foundation. I know the work I did (as well as my colleagues) will significantly and positively change the lives of orphans in India.

I would highly recommend anyone with interest in the non-profit field to pursue an internship with The Miracle Foundation. I can assure that any time or monetary donations to The Miracle Foundation would be put to the best use possible.
