CURE in Ethiopia
The picture above is of CURE in Ethiopia. Everyone who serves with CURE in Ethiopia, from medical professionals to office staff, are dedicated to providing the highest quality medical and spiritual care to people who, without CURE, couldn't find it and couldn't afford it, just like Fetiya. To do that, we're inviting you to partner with us.
We need to raise approximately $1000 to treat children like Fetiya. When you give a gift through Fetiya's CUREkids profile, your contribution will help us continue our work in countries like Ethiopia. Have more questions? Ask us.
Monthly Giving: Be a Hero!
When you partner with us monthly, we'll send you an email each month to introduce you to a different child who was helped because of your generosity. You can choose to follow their updates and send them get well messages. That means that each year, you're a part of helping 12 different children, beginning with Fetiya. We call it being a CURE Hero!
Got it. Thanks for the explanation.

“I’m looking forward to being healed and going back to school!” Fetiya shares with excitement.
Feiya is a friendly young woman and has come to CURE Ethiopia with her uncle Abdi, seeking treatment for her burn contracture. When she was a couple of months old, there was a fire accident in her house and both of her legs were burned. She went to a local clinic to treat the burn right away, but as the wounds healed, her skin contracted and now needs treatment to release it so her foot can lay flat. Abdi heard about CURE Ethiopia from their relatives and came straight to Addis Ababa. “I could not walk to school like I use to because as I get older, walking long distances becomes very tiring. My school is far from home and I could not continue going there,” says Fetiya. She continued, “I was in the eighth grade when I stopped school and it has been three years now.” Fetiya has four brothers and two sisters, she told us that both of her parents passed away recently and she is living with her grandmother. Please join us welcoming and praying for Fetiya while she starts her healing journey!
Latest Updates
Fetiya posed for the camera with her new prosthesis! She started exercising with it and she is doing a great job! "I'm so happy, I cannot wait to walk without my crutches!" Fetiya shared with excitement. And thankfully the time is near for that! Thank you all for your prayers!
Fetiya is doing very well and her foot is healing as well. Today, she was measured for an AFO (Ankle Foot Orthosis) for her left foot and a prosthesis for her right leg. She will return in six weeks for her fitting. Please keep her in your prayers for a safe return back to the hospital!
Fetiya gets to go home today! She will continue her walking practice from there and we will see her again in two weeks for her check-up!
