Make A Miracle

Make A Miracle We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to providing scholarships and empowering individuals in Colombia and Peru through education.

We work tirelessly to break the cycle of poverty and create brighter futures for talented students in the region. Make a Miracle was founded by husband and wife team Jack and Carolyn Canouse. It all started with short-term mission trips to Peru with their children, where they began to build relationships within the community of San Juan de Lurigancho. In an effort to empower and bring hope to thre

e young women they befriended, Jack and Carolyn decided to finance their college educations. Like many others within the community, without this kind of support, they would not have been able to further their education after high school. Jack and Carolyn realized that providing the opportunity for higher education was part of the solution to bring lasting change to this impoverished community. Soon after, they came up with a plan to broaden the scope of their outreach, and Make a Miracle was born. Make a Miracle was founded in 2015 and has been growing ever since thanks to supporters willing to team up with the Canouses and be a part of this Peruvian community's transformation through education, housing, and community outreach.

Erick grew up in San Juan de Lurigancho, Peru, where he never dreamed of even getting a college degree. Today, he is a college graduate and works at Rimac (one of Peru's largest insurance and investment firms.)

Now, he is able to financially support his family and volunteers with Make a Miracle as a way of giving back to his community.

Our housing program is all about giving families a fresh start. We build sturdy, safe homes for families who have been living in incredibly fragile conditions.

It’s wild to think about, but while $1,800 might just cover a month of rent in the US for a two bedroom, in Peru, it fully funds a brand new home. It’s the exact amount needed to give a family a secure roof, a door that can lock, and the chance to rebuild what they thought was lost.

Our time in Huancavelica, Peru was a massive reality check. In a world that’s always "go, go, go," this community reminded us that life is actually better when you slow down and look out for each other. We saw firsthand that there’s a level of grit and hospitality here that no paycheck can buy.

Thank you Miracle Makers for funding our year-round outreach in Huancavelica!

⭐ Growing up in San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima, Peru, where both of these Star Kids Clubs are located, there are many challenges, and most kids lack a safe space where they can just be kids.

That’s why our leaders show up every Saturday. They are the consistent, positive role models these kids need to stay on track and provide the environment for them to take a breath and have fun.

Last Saturday was all about the moms. Our Star Kids and Star Teens in Peru participated in a bunch of different activities to honor them: everything from making handmade gifts to putting on a dance performance. It was a lovely morning dedicated to the women who keep these families running.
