Mobile Clinics

CURE’s mobile clinics deliver medical and ministry care to children and families on the margins of society. The clinics offer medical services and refer children to receive surgery at our hospitals—and parents and children with disabilities can receive counseling, encouragement, and the good news of Jesus while talking with trusted Christian leaders.

Pastor Training

Some cultures hold false and harmful traditional beliefs about people with disabilities—even within the Christian church. CURE trains pastors and equips local churches to minister with the love of Jesus, helping communities dispel harmful myths and understand that children are not cursed because of their disabilities but rather loved by God.

Learn More

Advocacy & Awareness

Because of harmful beliefs and structural barriers that exclude people with disabilities, children and families we serve are often kept at the margins—making it harder for them to receive care. We’re working to change that by training communities to care for and recognize the rights of people with disabilities.

Learn More

Education & Prevention

CURE partners with local governments, healthcare systems, and churches to help them better serve and minister to children with disabilities in their communities—making healthcare more accessible to some of the most vulnerable in society.
