Our Work
CURE International operates a global network of eight children’s hospitals that provide life-changing surgical care and intentional spiritual care for children living with disabilities. Patients at CURE Children’s Hospitals suffer from conditions that limit their ability to walk, run, play, smile, and go to school, increasing the likelihood that they are ridiculed and isolated in their communities and have limited opportunities for employment. Some of these conditions include cleft lip/palate, neglected clubfoot, bowed legs, burn contractures, spina bifida, or conditions that are life-threatening such as brain tumors and hydrocephalus.

Before
After


CURE Children’s Hospitals treat children with a variety of disabling conditions that often go uncared for in countries that have a lack of access to resources. Without treatment, these children are more vulnerable, often in pain, and left on the fringes of society.

Spiritual Care
The good news of Jesus is shared in word and deed from the moment we meet a child to the last follow up appointment. Our staff is trained and passionate about sharing the love of Jesus with patients and their families. Physical healing opens the doors to spiritual healing in culturally sensitive ways that bring restoration and dignity.

An average of 51 people make faith expressions every business day.
“Patients that come see us are physically challenged, socially discriminated against, emotionally stressed, spiritually confused, and financially constrained. We want them to leave CURE physically healed, socially accepted, emotionally at peace, spiritually clarified, and financially empowered.”
– Earnest Kioko, Senior Director of Spiritual Ministry

Sustainable Care
The need in low- and middle-income countries is staggering. By training local surgeons, the impact across the country is multiplied and builds a sustainable model for future generations. One surgeon performs an estimated 400 operations annually, and a surgeon who trains two additional surgeons reaches 1,200 children.
CURE Neuro
CURE is a worldwide leader in treating children with the life-threatening conditions of hydrocephalus and spina bifida. Our on-site treatment and training hospital in Uganda performs surgeries for thousands of children annually and trains doctors from around the globe.
Since 1996

“Kids right now who can’t walk, they’re being carried, who can’t go outside because their faces look different…they get to be kids again. Because of CURE… because of you and me and everyone else involved, kids will be kids again, and be able to walk and run.”
