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

“We found out Success was skipping classes. She was out passing through the local shops so she did not have to go to school. Her friends at school would mock her and her teachers did nothing about it. She would wait until the day was over to go home, so her friends would leave her alone.” We sat with Success’ mom, Maria, as she shared the struggles of her daughter’s journey.
Maria continued, “Her friends would even come our house to tell us Success was not coming to class, but we knew how she was being treated, so we decided to have Success change schools.”
Success currently attends a school led by a pastor in Central Malawi. The school values individual's differences and does not accept discrimination. Success is very happy at her new school, but still has great hope for the healing of her legs.
Success has been diagnosed with blounts, a growth disorder of the tibia that causes the lower leg to angle inward.
“Success was counting down the days to come to CURE Malawi! She had her bags packed a week before leaving to come to the hospital. She is very excited to have the operation! We have heard stories of past CURE patients who have had similar deformities to Success and have found healing at this hospital. I am so happy the doctors here can help my daughter!” Maria said with great joy!
“We first went to the local hospital when Success was little and the doctors told us it was rickets. They tried to correct it, but after a year, her legs got worse. They told us she was still a child and her bones were still soft, so not to worry. We were then sent to MACOHA (Malawi Council for the Handicapped), who referred us to CURE.” Maria went on, “I have great confidence in CURE and the treatment my daughter will receive at this hospital. I am grateful to have a hospital that specializes in conditions like hers. CURE gives me hope!”
When asking Success what her dreams are after CURE, she told us, “I want to be a teacher like my dad! I like the idea of writing lesson plans!” School has not always been easy for Success, but she is looking forward to the great changes happening in her life.
Maria asks prayers to help her trust in the knowledge of the doctors operating on her daughter and for Success to believe in herself and to know she is not less than any other child!
Latest Updates
Success' frame is off and she has been discharged! She had one session of physio before leaving and has been advised to put full weight on her leg while she is at home. "I miss my frame!" Success told us as she walked out the door. We plan to see her again in two weeks for more physio. Please keep Success and her mom in your prayers while they journey home!
Success is having her frame removed today! The doctors told her she is 80 percent corrected and the next 20 percent is to be completed with physio. We are so happy she is healing so well. "I am going to miss my frame so much!" Success told us. Her mom Maria laughed confirming Success was really going to miss her frame. They planned on just coming in for a one day check-up, but brought things to stay at the hospital just in case, because they noticed Success' great progress. Please keep Success in your prayers while she is in the operating room today!
Success is here for a check-up! She gave us a big hug when she came in today. Her mom Maria says, "She is doing amazing! She doesn't have much pain and she can even walk from one side of the hospital to the other without having to use her crutches! She is better than we thought she would be right now." We were SO excited to hear this news! Thank you for your continuous prayers of healing for Success! She is very grateful!
