Richard Rice's Company Details
The Mirabel Foundation is an Australian Children's Charity that assists children who have been orphaned or abandoned due to parental illicit drug use and are now in the care of extended family (kinship care). Mirabel believes that every child deserves a childhood and its mission is to break the destructive cycle of addiction.Mirabel supports children aged 0-17 years and works at restoring a child's sense of self-worth, belonging and hope for the future in order for them to reach their full potential as young adults.Mirabel believes that investing in children is the most compassionate and economic investment we can make. Whether it is done financially, emotionally, or by lessening the stigma and feelings of isolation, both the community and these children will reap the rewards.Mirabel provides advocacy, referral, research, practical and emotional assistance to the children and their kinship carers who are more often than not grandparents. It leads the way in providing a community response to these families and reducing the stigma and isolation they experience.
