OUR MISSION:
EDUCATE IN ORDER TO EMPOWER
Making Medical Dreams (MMD) is a 501c(3) nonprofit with the mission to uplift and empower the lives of children from challenging backgrounds through funding and supporting their education at every stage. MMD works with both local homeless shelters in the Bay Area, as well as impoverished tribal communities in rural Odisha, India. Our core mission is to have the greatest impact on the most amount of students, and help these economically challenged and deprived students build a future that will empower them and help them escape poverty and other social evils like untouchability, discrimination, oppression, injustice and social exclusion.
DONATEWhen you make a donation to MMD, we use the funds to support educating children, directly benefiting the students. There is no paid staff at MMD, and we don't have our own offices, so your entire contribution goes directly to educating orphans and economically challenged students.

SPONSOROur sponsorship program allows for Donors to be introduced to a student and sponsor his or her education exclusively. Sponsoring a child gives them the chance to grow up healthy, educated and safe – forever changing the course of his or her life and future. And you just might find that it changes you, too.
|
EMPOWERMMD combines your monthly support with the support of others to help your child and others — creating a "ripple effect" of positive change in your child's community. MMD sponsored students have earned PhDs and other graduate degrees, work government jobs, and lift their family from poverty.

The Odisha Education Initiative
|
MMD is currently working together with Father Abraham Karukaparambil, a priest from Shanti Bhavan St. Peter's Minor Seminary located in the rural state of Odisha in India. After being ordained as a missionary priest for Odisha in 1995, Fr. Abraham has given his life in service to the region, providing his help in the battle against the oppression, exploitation, abject poverty, and inhuman life situations that continues to devastate the area.
Over the last 25 years of his service, Fr. Abraham has supported an increasing number of local students (over 70 individuals) in Odisha to pursue an education as a means to empower and bolster their families and communities. MMD is currently working with Fr. Abraham to fundraise and provide for every one of these children and break the vicious cycle of generational poverty that ravages the region today. |
