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

“Even my people do laugh at me because I have a child with a disability,” shares Mary, mother to George.
George is the second born boy in the family although his elder brother has passed on. He was born different from his elder brother because he was born with clubfoot. After Mary gave birth at their local clinic the nurse notified the family that the child has clubfoot and urged them to take him to a mission hospital in the neighboring district. They heeded the the advise and took him to the hospital when he was three months old but it not yield any fruit because they missed the specialized doctor who was visiting at the time. “We took him to the hospital when he was three months. We were unable to the meet the doctor who was supposed to look at him thereafter we never took him to the hospital for treatment for his condition until he has grown this far,” narrated Mary.
“When he was eight months we engaged a traditional healer who would come to compress his legs with herbs. He did it for two months, there was no improvement that's how we stopped,” recalled Mary. Both mother and son have not been spared from the ridicule and mockery that comes with disability. Mary shared that some people in the community do laugh at her because she has a child with a disability. Equally, even George is not spared from these laughs especially by kids around his age group when playing. The heard about CURE Zambia through people that had come for a mobile clinic in an area near were they live, luckily they heard about the transport arrangements that we were making with the assistance of some organizations and that's how they have managed to come to Lusaka. It's delightful that George is here with us to get healing which will remove the shame associated with his disability!
Latest Updates
Guess who is back? It's George! He came through for his follow up visit and it's all smiles and good news. He got his cast off his right leg and it looks great! Since he has been in a cast for a couple of weeks, he still needs to get used to walking again. This young man has fully healed and there is no reason he needs to stick around so he has gone home a completely different person! He is now a disability free young man! This wouldn't have been possible without your prayers and a support. We thank you for partnering with us!
Everyone in the OR was with George as his cast was removed and checking out his new feet! But he still needs another cast to maintain the correction as well as to cover after the small remaining patch of the surgical wound. He has been discharged and gone home. He will be back again after a couple of months for the follow up review. Please be praying for George!
The president & CEO of CURE International Roger is visiting CURE Zambia! During the visit of our children's ward, he met George and they had some fun together. George enjoyed every bit of the time!
