Project Highlight Infant and toddler clubfoot care provided by CURE Clubfoot clinics throughout Africa: CURE Clubfoot (CC) continues to establish country programs throughout Africa, identifying and treating infants and toddlers with clubfoot as well as training medical practitioners in order to make this care available throughout each country served. Senior leadership is committed to bringing CC into alignment with the StratOp Core Strategy of fully integrating CURE s standard of physical and surgical care throughout the network. Planning is underway for scaled, achievable growth within the program that retains the organization s commitment to quality outcomes along with equal focus on physical and spiritual healing. Based on CURE s ongoing review and refinement of its operating cost structure, it was determined that CURE must raise an average of $400 per child to provide complete healing so that the child will not be permanently afflicted with this disability. Life- changing surgeries for children with disabilities throughout the CURE hospital network: Throughout the majority world, the lack of quality health care, combined with overwhelming poverty, increases the rate of clubfoot, hydrocephalus, cleft lips/palates, and other physical conditions among children in resource- -poor countries. CURE believes that curing a child s disability eliminates a major obstacle to overcoming the challenges of growing up in resource- -poor countries and contributes to the alleviation of poverty for the family of that child. With the support of the Simply Distribute Charitable Foundation, CURE is seeking to deepen its efforts to address both the physical and spiritual needs of children and their families.
ICM s strategy consists of working together with indigenous partners to build mother churches in each country. The mother church strategy involves building new churches approximately 25 miles from one another. Each of these mother churches, in turn, commits to planting at least five daughter congregations nearby. ICM s goal is to blanket each nation with churches and other projects. The churches are the catalysts that facilitate the ministry s primary purpose: nurturing believers. ICM nurtures believers primarily through the teaching of the Mini Bible College (MBC), a clear, systematic Bible curriculum developed by Pastor Dick Woodward. MBC consists of 215 individual lessons in audio, print and other formats. The teachings include an entire survey of the Old and New Testaments, and in-depth studies of the Sermon on the Mount and Marriage and Family.

Haggai carefully selects proven, credentialed leaders from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East and train them to impact their world for Christ. Their training program unique, powerful, and found nowhere else gives existing leaders from developing nations the inspiration, the focus, and the sheer can-do to impact whatever world they influence, be it nation, city, neighborhood, company, non-governmental organization, or church. The acquisition of essential skills and the practical, how-to solutions for communicating the Gospel allow these leaders to proclaim the Gospel boldly in complex, sometimes hostile environments. Together as alumni, donors, faculty, volunteers and staff we strive to give everyone on earth the chance to hear the Gospel by word and action in terms they can understand.
Project Highlight 2015 Cyprus Training Session The idea was that Haggai would find national Christian leaders in various fields (media, business, law, education, churches, etc.) who had already proven to have key leadership qualities. They would go through an intensive 25-day training that would not be taught on American soil nor taught by American faculty. Instead, thirdworld established leaders would have the authority to teach others how to lead and evangelize so that they could do the same. Most Recently, Simply Distribute contributed to the 2015 session held in Cyprus.
Opportunity believes that microfinance is a sustainable means of poverty alleviation leading to lasting, holistic development. Financial tools and training empower entrepreneurs to build businesses, support their families and transform their communities. They do this by providing micro-loans, and their financial institutions are currently dispersed to 3.5 million active loan clients. What s most astounding is that 98 percent of these loans are paid back. It happens because an Opportunity International loan is not just money. It s an entire system of support, guidance and accountability.

We train farmers to steward both their land and the harvest from the land. We do this by teaching agricultural skills which bring about a substantial increase in crop yields and by financial training to manage the increase in resources. We also include a training component by Family Impact to strengthen the family unit. All three components are vital to bringing an end to hunger, dependency and poverty.
