Miracle is dedicated to promoting accessible education and mental health awareness among students. She advocates for educational opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all, particularly opposing the use of children in labor. Miracle has created a documentary focused on education for the girl child, which has inspired viewers and raised awareness about gender disparities in education. Alongside this, she runs a podcast and blog that contribute to fundraising efforts to send children to school. Her work has motivated many girls to consider careers in male-dominated fields and encouraged adults to support girls’ education. Looking forward, Miracle plans to establish her own NGO to extend her impact from local to global communities.
