Ethiopia’s First Full Femur Replacement
You might know the story. A shepherd is out with his sheep and one goes missing. The rest of the sheep are happily munching on grass, but the shepherd is distraught and goes off searching for the one lost sheep. He looks high. He looks low. He looks all night, and eventually finds the lost […]
Healing the Heart: Trauma Training
It is CURE’s desire that every patient who comes in contact with us goes home transformed physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

Standing Strong and Stepping Up at CURE Ethiopia
Remember when you were a kid, and you’d ask your parents which one of you was their favorite?

Now, I have this sneaking suspicion that my parents may […]
Coming Together Through Adversity
Writing from CURE Ethiopia, it is hard to predict the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in Ethiopia and in other countries where CURE serves.
