The Miracle Foundation, a non-profit in Austin, provides humane housing for orphans in India by building orphanages through charitable contributions. DCA donated a design concept and drawings for a 24,000 sq ft building complex. Covering a 2.5-acre site in Jharsuguda, India, it includes housing for 200 orphans, 20 housemothers, and visiting volunteers, as well as offices, a playground, gardens, and a prayer hall.
