Melania was born with knees that bent backward, but this never stopped her from playing her little heart out and exploring the world around her. Now after receiving surgery at CURE Malawi, she's still playing and exploring, but her ability to do so has been multiplied thanks to her being able to walk on two straight legs!!!!!! #CUREmalawi #orthopedics #orthopedicSurgery #transformationtuesday #beforeafter #beforeandafter

0813-ablakat-bna-reel.mp4
"People accuse me of doing drugs while pregnant with Ablakat. They say that's the only explanation for my daughter being born this way," Ablakat's mom, Samrawit, remembered. Despite the judgment and rumors, Samrawit knew Ablakat was a gift from God and named her Ablakat which means "God Sent Her." Thankfully, God also sent a woman who was also a mother a child born with a cleft lip. In Samtawit's moment of greatest lonliness, this woman came alongside her and brought her to CURE Ethiopia where Ablakat got her surgery to close her cleft lip and give her a new smile! All CURE's cleft services are offered in partnership with Smile Train #CUREethiopia #cleftLip #cleftlipandpalateawareness #cleftlipcutie #transformationtuesday #beforeafter #beforeandafter

cure-zambia-solar-edit.mp4
Like every hospital, CURE Zambia needs power to keep its lights on and equipment running. Unfortunately, Zambia’s power grid is plagued by frequent unannounced interruptions and surges, which can damage expensive equipment. The hospital’s diesel backup generators are costly to run and do not generate enough electricity to fully power our world-class facility. Zambia does, however, have something to work with: lots of sunshine. Thanks to a USAID - US Agency for International Development #ASHA grant, CURE Zambia recently invested in a state-of-the-art #microgrid that uses #solarpanels to generate energy and commercial-grade batteries to store it for use at night. This investment is already delivering dependable—and free—electricity to CURE Zambia, which allows more kids than ever to receive high-quality medical care and have the opportunity to hear the Gospel! #CUREzambia

Clubfoot is the reality for millions of kids around the world, but it doesn't have to be as clubfoot is extremely treatable! On this World Clubfoot Day, we're dreaming of a world where kids don't have to needlessly suffer from treatable conditions like clubfoot! So far, we've provided over 35,000 children with surgical care to correct their clubfoot, and you can be a part of helping to correct the clubfoot of the next 35,000 children! It's a big dream to dream of a world where kids don't have to needless suffer, but it's one we're working towards together!

tamirat-gait-bna-v2.mp4
Did you know that the University of Oxford and CURE Ethiopia have an ongoing partnership dating back to 2019? Every quarter, Oxford researchers train and support our medical staff in Ethiopia who work in our Gait Lab — a specially designed room used to record patient motion via video and sensors. Thanks to this ongoing partnership between physicians from Oxford and CURE Ethiopia, complex mobility and walking problems are being identified and remedied each day. As you can see below, kids like Tamirat benefit tremendously from this ongoing partnership with Oxford!

0409-bella-bna-wide.mp4
Bella was born with a cleft lip, but her smile has been transformed after receiving surgery at CURE Kenya! When we caught up with her at one of our mobile clinics near her home, her mom told us, "All the wait was worth every minute. Thank you, CURE, for bringing my daughter's smile back!" And that, friends, is better than any five-star Google review! All CURE's cleft surgeries are provided in partnership with Smile Train #CUREkenya #cleftLip #cleftlipandpalateawareness #cleftlipcutie #globalhealthcare #globalhealth #medicalcare #healthcareforall #healthcareisahumanright #transformationtuesday #beforeafter #beforeandafter

elsa-bna-wide.mp4
Elsa is a sassy little lady whose left leg began to bow outwards soon after she learned how to walk. Thankfully, her family wasn't messing around and sought out medical help soon after they noticed it. It took a little bit of time, but they eventually found out about CURE Zimbabwe and got her the surgery she needed to straighten her leg! We're so grateful to Elsa's family for catching this early and getting her the treatment she needed before her leg got worse (bowed legs are often a progressive condition)! And we also love the confidence this little one is showing now that she's got two straight legs! #CUREzimbabwe #bowlegs #bowlegsurgery #bowlegscorrection #bowlegsnomore #globalhealthcare #globalhealth #medicalcare #healthcareforall #healthcareisahumanright #globalsurgery #pediatricsurgery #safesurgery #transformationtuesday #beforeafter #beforeandafter

Zadok Before and After Clubfoot!
Zadok had a version of clubfoot that forced him to permanently walk on his tip-toes. But after surgery at CURE Zimbabwe, that's no longer the case, and his swagger is on full display!!! #CUREzimbabwe #transformationtuesday #beforeafter #beforeandafter #clubfoot #clubfootcutie #clubfootjourney #clubfootawareness #clubfootwarrior #orthopedics #orthopedicSurgery

Speech Therapy at CURE Philippines
We're not just a slice-and-dice surgical operation. So many of the kids CURE donors are empowering us to serve need ongoing care long after the surgery. For some of them, it's physical therapy, and for others, like Yuki here, it's speech therapy after cleft lip and palate surgery! We're so thankful for CURE donors who enable this kind and compassionate therapy that we are privileged to get a little sneak peek of here! Also thankful for @Smile Train who we strategically partner with to make sure patients with cleft lip and palate get the best care possible. #CUREphilippines #TebowCURE #cleftLip #cleftPalate #cleftlipandpalateawareness #cleftlipcutie #speechTherapy

maryanne-bna-reel.mp4
Maryanne developed windswept legs around age two. By age seven, when she came to CURE, she had difficulty standing or walking for long periods of time, and she was bullied at school. Generous donors stepped in to care for her at CURE Kenya, providing surgery at no cost to her family. Caregivers surrounded Maryanne and her mother with the love of Jesus. Helping kids like Maryanne is what Giving Tuesday is all about—all of us coming together to change the life of a child. It is not too late to help provide 100 surgeries for children waiting for care! The first $25,000 given to CURE for Giving Tuesday will be matched to DOUBLE your impact! https://cure.org/givingtuesday23
