Twelve-year-old Mufaro was born with a bowed left leg that curved outward, leaving a visible gap between her legs and making it difficult for her to pursue her dream of becoming a sports girl. “When I first noticed her condition, I immediately took her to the local hospital, hoping for help, but there were no doctors available who could treat her,” recalled her mother, Rusere. Heartbroken by Mufaro’s constant talk about sports and running, Rusere turned to the internet for answers.

“It felt like fate when I came across the CURE Children’s Hospital of Zimbabwe’s page,” she said. “Seeing their wonderful work, I immediately booked an appointment.” Thanks to generous sponsors, Mufaro received a life-changing surgery that restored her confidence and reignited her dreams. “After the surgery, she gained so much confidence; it boosted her morale and deepened her spiritual journey. The inside and out transformation is enough proof that God will take her to greater heights,” Rusere shared with joy.

Windswept deformity is a condition where one leg develops a bowed knee while the other develops a knock knee, meaning one knee tilts inward while the other bends outward. This “windswept” appearance occurs when the growth plate near one knee slows down or stops producing new bone, while the other knee continues to grow normally.
There are several possible causes of windswept deformity, but the most common is rickets, a condition where bones fail to form properly due to a deficiency of calcium, vitamin D, or phosphate.
At CURE Zimbabwe, this condition can be treated free of charge for children and their caregivers. If you know a child who could benefit from treatment, please get in touch with us. To schedule an appointment, send the child’s details via SMS or WhatsApp to +263 772 696 481, or call us on +263 867 719 2320.

Nomusa was born with a cleft lip that made it difficult for her to breathe, feed, and be accepted by her family, leaving her mother, Anita, heartbroken. Despite the rejection and painful challenges, Anita’s hope was restored when she learned about CURE Children’s Hospital of Zimbabwe and the sponsors who could fund Nomusa’s surgery. At just three months old, Nomusa underwent a successful operation that closed the split in her lip, giving her the chance to heal and thrive. Three months later, doctors were pleased with her progress, and Anita witnessed how her daughter’s new smile transformed not only her future but also softened the hearts of family members who had once rejected her. Today, Anita is filled with gratitude to God, the CURE team, and the generous sponsors who gave Nomusa a new beginning and a brighter future.

All CURE's cleft services are offered in a strategic partnership with Smile Train
