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 Dofte. To do that, we're inviting you to partner with us.
We need to raise approximately $1000 to treat children like Dofte. When you give a gift through Dofte'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 Dofte. We call it being a CURE Hero!
Got it. Thanks for the explanation.

Dofte came to CURE with his twin brother and father, from a place called Zewaye and it took them 6 hours by bus to get here. This is his first hospital experience for his leg problem. Dofte's parents noticed his problem when he was four years old, and after hearing about us from a previous patient, they brought him to CURE.
Latest Updates
The weight gain game is a long one, but both Dofte and his twin Challa are getting there! While we're working on it, we decided to try and re-create Dofte and Challa's photos from when they were first here at CURE Ethiopia about seven years ago. A lot has changed over the years, but our love and God's love for these two young men is not one of those things!
Dofte is keeping himself busy by coloring! He is enjoying his stay and gaining some weight as well. This means that he is getting stronger and can have his surgery soon!
In Ethiopia, Christmas is celebrated in January instead of December. We were able to put on a celebration for both the kids and our CURE Ethiopia staff where we were reminded of the true meaning of Christmas while also having some fun with Santa glasses and a few small Christmas presents! We also ate well with some cake, biscuits, and traditional Ethiopian bread - all which also work well towards Dofte's weight gain goals!
