Mysterious Past, Bright Future: Meet Slinthe
His name is Slinthe. But, he hasn’t always been known as Slinthe. You see, Slinthe has a unique story. Slinthe was found asking for money on the street.

Ivy’s ODP tour!
About a year ago, we broke ground on CURE Kenya’s new outpatient department building (OPD), a replacement for our old and overcrowded one.
