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.
