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

Maria-Ma has seven kids, and she was heartbroken when her baby Mahamadou got burned. It happened during Ramadan last year, the month when the Islamic people fast during the day. Their family is part of a nomadic tribe who live in tents, and Mahamadou’s father is a shepherd, following the herds.
Mahamadou was playing with his brothers and sister one evening, and suddenly he fell into the fire. His father and mother weren’t around, but as soon as they did, they became desperate for help. They didn’t even look for traditional treatments but took him directly to a care center in Madawa, where he had to stay for over 2 months.
While there, someone told them about CURE, and they came as soon as possible. When Mahamadou got here, his right hand was fused together with his arm by scars, so he could not move his wrist. He had one surgery done already at the beginning of this year and now he is back to release his fingers!
Latest Updates
Here he is again, today in a much better mood! Mahamadou has only a small wound on his pelvis area that still needs a dressing change, but it is nice to see his smile and pretty soon he will start physiotherapy on his hand!
Today he cried a LOT!! Poor baby! Mahamadou was so cranky that even before the nurses started touching him he was already crying. The skin on his hand is pretty dry and soon he will be able to start the massages that he needs to maintain flexibility. Now the nurses are taking care of the wound on his pelvis and it is almost dried too, but Mahamadou is not happy about dressing changes at anytime. Please keep praying for him.
Our baby came today because of a blister on his hand. Mahamadou cried a lot when the nurses took a peek at it. He has an infection on his hand, but the nurses cleaned and medicated it so it can continue healing. The nurses also looked at the wound on his pelvis area, and we were sad to see that it hasn’t healed yet. Please pray for him, we hope his skin can heal fast so he can start the physiotherapy on his hand.
