HABF has been partnering with Miracle Foundation since 2017 for this project. Miracle Foundation is a non-profit organization that brings life-changing care to orphaned and vulnerable children around the world. Miracle Foundation has taken a stand for orphaned children. Its “Child First” approach is multi-faceted, collaborative and community-based.
HABF together with Miracle Foundation India is ensuring optimal health of children in the homes with access to clean water, nutrition, environmental cleanliness and health care interventions. Mentoring visits are undertaken by the HABF team to the assigned children‘s home on biannual basis. Individual health records are monitored and guidance provided as needed to ensure health standards as laid by Miracle Foundation India are implemented. The staff and children are also trained on different aspects of good health, nutrition and well-being.
