healing changes everything
We recently caught up with Santhosh George, CURE Clubfoot India’s Regional Director. Santhosh shared about how clubfoot is viewed in India and the progress the program is making.
Santhosh George talks about CURE Clubfoot India Dehli Program from CURE Video on Vimeo.
It was only a year ago that CURE Clubfoot Worldwide opened its doors in Delhi, India and it hasn’t looked back since! In only a year, CCW Delhi has straightened over 800 children’s feet!
CCW India is part of a network of CCW programs around the globe fighting to eradicate clubfoot as a life long disability. Two hundred thousand children will be born every year with clubfoot, and 50,000 of those children are from India. In Delhi, CCW manages clinics at six different hospitals, helping to reach the 1,000 children that were treated this past year.
Here’s a story about a family from India whose son, Mohit, was treated at a CURE Clubfoot Worldwide clinic.
Sunita, Mohit, Charan and the family cow
Charan and Sunita work hard to support their family. Charan makes a living as a farmer, while Sunita cares for their three children. This family also has a cow that earns them extra income through the milk she provides.
When their third child, Mohit, was born, the doctors immediately noticed the telltale signs of clubfoot. This condition is a common deformity that twists the feet.
