Tanaka | Clubfoot
Before Surgery
Tanaka was born with clubfoot—a condition that prevented full mobility for this spirited little girl. Luckily, her family received a referral to CURE Zimbabwe.
After Surgery
CURE provided the surgeries and casting Tanaka needed to straighten her feet. Today, she can walk, run, and attend school with her friends.
