The organization ensures children are not separated from their families and that orphans receive all of their rights, per the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. There are 8 million children living in institutions worldwide,[1] and 437,465 children in the US foster care system.[2] Miracle Foundation's purpose is "a loving family and personalized care for [these] 8.5 million children, in our lifetime."[3] Miracle Foundation has received the highest rating possible on charity watchdogs Charity Navigator, Guidestar and GreatNonprofits.[4][5][6] History[https://www.miraclefoundation.org/ Miracle Foundation] was founded in May 2000 by Caroline Boudreaux.[7] After a chance encounter with an orphaned toddler in rural India during a vacation in 2000, Boudreaux left her TV advertising career.[8] With no experience in management or fundraising, Boudreaux invested all her life savings and founded Miracle Foundation to ensure orphans receive all of their rights, per the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, so they can reach their full potential. Miracle Foundation reunites children with their families whenever possible, and guarantees children a quality education, a safe and loving environment, and personalized care as they transition into family care.[9] United Nations Rights of the ChildMiracle Foundation's method is based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Measuring ImpactMiracle Foundation has codified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and works with local leaders and caregivers to improve the quality of care for orphaned children around the world.[10] The organization's measurement tool is called the Thrive Scale, measures progress over time, and helps organizations develop a specific and practical plan to improve.[11] ProgramsThe nonprofit's stated mission is to "empower orphans to reach their full potential."[12] They do this by reuniting children with their families whenever possible and guaranteeing children a quality education, a safe and loving environment, and personalized care as they transition into family care.[13] The organization has supported more than 7,000 children since 2000 and has transitioned 25% of the children to family care.[14][15] Base ModelMiracle Foundation mentors and monitors orphanages, providing capacity building training for leaders and caregivers to improve the quality of care for children.[16] Centers for ExcellenceThe organization helps orphanages transition into Centers for Excellence, where local leaders can learn about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and how to move their children to family-based care through kinship care, foster care, or adoption.[10] Child First Digital ToolkitMiracle Foundation created the Child First Digital Toolkit, an online resource for anyone caring for or supporting vulnerable children around the world. Topics include child rights, attachment, child protection, preventing abuse, healthcare, nutrition and more.[17] Awards & Media RecognitionMiracle Foundation Founder Caroline Boudreaux was honored as one of UBS' Global Visionaries in February 2017,[18] and the organization was awarded the Humanitarian Award by the Austin Chapter of the United Nations Association in October 2017.
