Simdega Home for Single Mothers / Global Giving

I met with Barbara at the Miracle Foundation Friday to get some of my paperwork in order and to get some more details of the trip itinerary. We will be adding in a visit to the Simdega Home for Single Mothers. This home is in a tribal area of Jharkhand which is in one of the most impoverished regions of India and has one of the highest maternal/infant mortality rates in the country. Simdega Home provides pre-natal care, hospital births, formula, and immunizations for mothers and children.


The Miracle Foundation is trying to earn a permanent spot on GlobalGiving.com, a highly respected website which connects donors to causes that they care about. As part of the Global Open Challenge, the Miracle Foundation has until September 18th to raise enough money to earn them eligibility to continue to receive donations from the general public, private and corporate foundations through globalgiving.com. Money generated will go towards the Simdega Home for Single Mothers. Donate here
