To provide free medical care, education, food and housing to families in need.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for children and families living in an impoverished community in Rishikesh, India. By providing this community with an opportunity to obtain a quality education, computer skills, job training, health and nutritional assistance, medical care, womens rights education, sustainability, and environmental awareness, we hope to empower these underprivileged individuals and to assist them in creating a better future for the community as a whole.
CHILDREN'S EDUCATION PROGRAM:In the Childrens Education Program we offer free English education for gifted students from poor families in our community. In 2020 we had 508 students and 59 staff/teachers in the school. We are looking forward to soon expanding to 700 students. Admission to our school is competitive, with only 60 new students are admitted to the new kindergarten class each year, from among hundreds or thousands of applicants. Our school is conducted in English. We provide each child with free school materials, summer and winter uniforms, shoes, all books, notebooks, backpacks, two meals a day, healthcare. We also provide classes in sports, art, dance, singing, instrumental music, yoga and meditation.Without the education we provide, these children would likely become child labor or would not receive any education at all, because even government schools in India are not free. If their families did manage to finance their education in a government school or with the help of a government subsidy, they still would not achieve their full potential. Government schools are extremely poor and education is in Hindi language, but all universities are in English. So the children who graduate from government schools have less chance to go to college.We provide a high-quality education with a fast-paced, advanced curriculum to all our students, giving them an advantage so that they can overcome the obstacles of poverty and succeed in the future. We do our best to target the children who are most likely to succeed long-term. We provide scholarship programs to help them go to college so that they can eventually help to raise themselves, their families, and their entire community out of poverty.
NUTRITION & HEALTH PROGRAM:The Nutrition Program addresses another contributing factor to poor health as approximately 90% of the children in the community we work within do not get enough to eat. What meals they do have are often deficient of essential nutrients. We offer for breakfast a piece of cake or biscuit and a glass of milk. For lunch we offer a daily all you can eat lunch. As a result of their poor living situation, many of the children we work with are malnourished. The breakfast and lunch are the only meals most of our children have every day.The Health Program. In poverty-stricken communities, children are in constant danger of life threatening illnesses and diseases. Contaminated water, poor sanitation and unhygienic food preparation exposes them to parasites, deadly diseases, skin infections, stomach problems, and cancer. As a result of their poor living situation, many of the children we work with are malnourished and in poor health. Our Healthcare and Nutrition Program allow us the ability to provide: Routine medical checkups Treatment for illnesses and injuries Medications Dental and eyes checkups Anti-parasite and worm treatments. Twice a year treatments where applicable. Regular vitamins and food supplements for needy ones Malnutrition screening and treatment Cancer treatment for our children
THE COMPUTER CODING SCHOOL:The Computer Coding School at Mother Miracle School offers underprivileged young adults, age 9-18, the skills and knowledge of different coding language, necessary to get a job that they would not otherwise have the knowledge & skill set to attain.
