Miracle Foundation India announces its Mother’s Day Campaign to support Miracle Moms in reuniting orphaned and vulnerable children with their biological families
With Mother's Day 2019 around the corner, Miracle Foundation India, a fully licensed Section 25 non-profit organisation, has announced its 'Mother's Day' campaign to support housemothers to create an enabling environment for children living in children's homes.
Along with this, the campaign aims to simultaneously prepare and empower the biological mothers of these children to welcome their child back into the family.
There are eight million children living in institutions around the world (UNICEF).
Many of these children languish in children's homes without access to nutritious food, clean water, quality education, and medical care.
Surprisingly, 80 per cent of these kids have a living family member back home (UNICEF 2015). Most families wouldn't leave their children in children's homes if they had the right support to care for them.
That is why, Miracle Foundation India works towards bringing life-changing care to orphaned and vulnerable children and ultimately finding a loving family for every child currently living in children's homes.
The organisation was founded on Mother's Day in 2000 and has brought impactful change to the lives of over 7500+ orphaned and vulnerable children thus far.
Every year during Mother's Day, Miracle Foundation India invites people to donate in honour of mother figures in their lives. These donations go towards helping reunite children with their families.
This year's Mother's Day campaign includes a four-pronged approach, aimed at ensuring that housemothers at children's homes create an enabling environment for children at every step while they await transition and support children in all possible ways until they are reunited with their families.
This will be carried out by building housemothers' capacities to address children's needs, training them to prepare the child to transition back to their family and ensure attachment.
Through the training, housemothers will be able to create a sense of belonging through family groups and day to day activities at children's homes and ensure that children are loved, educated, healthy and safe until they transition to a permanent family.
Funds raised from the campaign will help house mothers build self-awareness, self- confidence, and self-esteem, helping them take better care of children and preparing their farewell kits that capture the time they've had together while children at the children's homes.
