WHO WE ARE
Theory of Change
When children are cared for medically, spiritually, and emotionally—families and communities flourish under God’s hand.
A Twin Track Approach that Changes Lives and Communities
CURE’s vision is to ensure that every child with a treatable disability has access to the care and support they need to reach their full potential through God’s hope and healing. Children with disabilities in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) face barriers on individual and societal levels, so CURE has adopted a twin track approach that facilitates change to fully address the challenges facing our patients.
