CURE Clubfoot Worldwide signs agreement in India
CURE Clubfoot Worldwide (CCW) has signed a five-year partnership agreement with the government of Maharashtra, one of the largest and most populous states of India. Home to 112 million people, it is estimated that 2,750 children are born with clubfoot here every year. As a result of this formal partnership, the door has been opened for CCW to organize medical training events at hospitals in Maharashtra. In addition, by the end of the year we will be holding three weekly clinics in Mumbai, three in Pune, and six in other districts in the state. The number of weekly clinics we are able to hold will have tripled!
Praise the Lord for His blessing in opening the doors for continued opportunities in India.
