Generally there's no treatment for Microcephaly, but early intervention with supportive therapies, such as speech and occupational therapies, may help enhance with a child's development and improve quality of life.
In order to fund these supportive therapies, we are always hosting events and fundraisers.

The Micro Miracle Foundation is a nonprofit company providing financial and emotional assistance for various therapies and devices for children diagnosed with Microcephaly and related disorders. The foundation will form partnerships with the families of children suffering from Microcephaly to provide the required assistance. The Micro Miracle Foundations goal is to promote awareness of Microcephaly in South Africa and globally as well as to reassert a sense of hope for families.
Microcephaly is a rare neurological condition in which a baby's head is smaller than the heads of other children of the same age and sex. Sometimes detected at birth, Microcephaly is generally the result of the brain developing abnormally in the womb or not growing as it should after birth. Microcephaly can be caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Children with Microcephaly often have developmental issues.
Generally there's no treatment for Microcephaly, but early intervention with supportive therapies, such as speech and occupational therapies, may help enhance with a child's development and improve quality of life.
The establishment of the foundation was inspired when Logan was diagnosed with Microcephaly in 2015. The medical bills are extremely high and so the foundation was started to help children with Microcephaly and closely related neurological problems.
When we started the foundation, there was no support for families due to the fact that Microcephaly isn't a well known disability in South Africa.
We are encouraging everyone that knows of a family with Microcephaly or related neurological disorders to contact us. Together we can support each other and grow!

Our team comprises of individuals combining experience, knowledge and practicality pertaining to many neurological and related conditions. Compassion emanates from this team of people always going above and beyond to meet the needs of the various beneficiaries.
