“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime,” said Santhosh George, director of CURE International India Trust (CURE India), recognizing the contribution of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to clubfoot treatment and support in making them self-sufficient.
The ICRC’s team visited CURE India’s office on 30 January 2025 to mark the formal conclusion of a ten-year partnership between the two organizations. The partnership was established in 2015 to provide clubfoot treatment services in Jammu and Kashmir and Chhattisgarh. The key areas of this partnership were capacity-building for doctors and counsellors, and resource mobilization.
Testifying to the impact of CURE India’s quality services, a patient’s parent said, “We were petrified when our daughter was born with twisted feet. We were referred to the clubfoot clinic at St Stephen’s Hospital in New Delhi where she received the right treatment, preventing her from being disabled for life. She is now able to run, play and go to school just like any other child.”
