The Miracle Foundation (TMF) is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization founded in 2000, focused on empowering orphans in India to reach their full potential, one child at a time. By creating a family-style living environment for each of the 500 orphans currently in their care, this secular organization goes beyond just providing children with their basic rights. The Miracle Foundation’s model of family-style Children’s Villages guarantees that each orphan has nutritious food, high-quality healthcare, a college-prep education (including English proficiency and computer literacy), and, most importantly, a long-term relationship with a trained Housemother who provides a stable, loving, nurturing home. The funding for the care of each child is primarily achieved through one-to-one child sponsorship and individual donations.

Famous quotes containing the words miracle and/or foundation:
“How vigilant we are! determined not to live by faith if we can avoid it; all the day long on the alert, at night we unwillingly say our prayers and commit ourselves to uncertainties. So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the possibility of change. This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one centre. All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
