Kulthum, a five-year-old girl born with bilateral clubfoot, has struggled to walk long distances and has been unable to run or play with her friends like other children. Her mother, Fungai, sought help when Kulthum was still a baby, but early treatments such as serial casting brought no improvement, and doctors declared her condition untreatable. Heartbroken and desperate, Fungai sought alternative methods of healing, fearing her daughter was bewitched. Her hope was restored when she met another mother whose child had been successfully treated at CURE Children’s Hospital of Zimbabwe, where all surgeries are fully sponsored. Today, thanks to this life-changing support, Kulthum is making tremendous progress, learning to walk on her own two feet, and drawing closer to her dream of wearing shoes and freely playing with her friends.
