Mission/Operations
With its mission to “empower orphans to reach their full potential—one child at a time,” The Miracle Foundation provides the orphans in their care with a loving, nurturing environment in which the children can thrive. Like all charities, The Miracle Foundation relies on public generosity to carry out their work, which includes: long-term, one-to-one sponsorship of a child, individual donations, or traveling to the orphanages via The Miracle Foundation’s Voluntourism program. As a small non-profit organization with a large number of volunteers and very few employees, TMF has kept overhead low, resulting in a large percentage of donations going to direct care of orphans, rather than administrative costs. In 2008, 83% of all donations went towards program services, 12% went to operations and 5% went to fundraising.

Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or operations:
“I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
