Are You Ready for Miles for Mitrata Kids 2024?
Mitrata-Nepal Foundation for Children has set out to raise $35,000 through the event Miles for Mitrata Kids. These funds will support the education of the 2024 Contact Center graduates until they are fully sponsored.
A Year to Remember
In the midst of the Holiday Season, and as we come to the end of 2023, we would like to spend a few moments reminiscing on the events of the year.
Why Miles for Mitrata Kids?
Outside of Contact Center sponsorships, Miles for Mitrata Kids fully funds the Contact Center! We have currently raised 69% our fundraising goal, but only have 56% of our goal participants. We would be unable to operate the Contact Center without our dedicated Contact Center sponsors, and the participants and donors of Miles for Mitrata Kids. Would you consider being a participant or donor?
