CURE in Kenya
The picture above is of CURE in Kenya. Everyone who serves with CURE in Kenya, 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 Paul. To do that, we're inviting you to partner with us.
We need to raise approximately $1000 to treat children like Paul. When you give a gift through Paul's CUREkids profile, your contribution will help us continue our work in countries like Kenya. 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 Paul. We call it being a CURE Hero!
Got it. Thanks for the explanation.

Paul was born with bilateral clubfoot and his parents started the ponsetti method of treatment when he was little. A few years later, the mum and dad had a disagreement and the mum decided to leave with Paul and she went to her mum’s home. This automatically meant that the treatment process had to stop. Paul’s clubfoot was neglected. For years, nothing was done to address Paul’s clubfoot.
Steven is Paul’s dad. For the longest time, he tried to look for his son with no luck. When he tried calling the mum, his wife, he found that she changed numbers and her old number didn’t go through. Steven asked for advice from his mum and he was told to check if his son could be at his grandmother’s (Steven’s mother-in law) place. Steven went to his mother-in law’s home and found Paul there. Paul was very thin and not well taken care of. Steven found a away to take Paul back and try to get him into school.
Paul’s grandma, Steven’s mum, was able to get some help and someone offered to support Paul through school. While at school they found out about CURE Kenya and that Paul’s condition could be treated surgically. Steven did everything he could and got Paul to CURE Kenya. They are now here and Steven desires that his son gets healed and that he lives a normal life.
Latest Updates
This cheeky face by Paul simply means he didn’t do our challenge. When we asked him this morning if he was ready to go on video and tell us one of the stories he had learned, he made this smile and said, “I don’t know!” Paul is doing well with his treatment and we thank God for that.
Paul received a book with Bible stories from the spiritual team. This is what is keeping him busy in the ward today as he is learning interesting things from the Bible. We challenged Paul to tell us a story without looking at the book when we see him tomorrow. Let’s wait and see how he does.
Friends are as a companion on a journey - helping each other to persevere on the road to a happier life. This is exactly what Paul is venturing into while in the hospital. I met him today with Lameck, a new patient and a new friend, talking and encouraging him to be strong. When we asked him how his day has been, he smiled and said, "Am pressing on." This statement encouraged us that no matter the hardships/troubles/trials/afflictions that we face in life, we should always "press on." Let's continue to pray for this friendly, social, and jovial boy.
