Hayden Bixby & Amy Eldon Turteltaub – Cura Orphanage

Cura Orphanage is a residence for children who have lost their parents to AIDS. Cura provides a home, healthcare and loving support to the orphans, while building sustainability through farming and other means.

Our home is located in the village of Cura, in Kenya, Africa. Fifty children, ranging in age from 4 to 13 currently live at our Home, thanks to funding from Rotary Clubs in Kenya, Canada, UK and the United States, from the Slum Doctors Programme and from other well-wishers across the globe.

At Cura Orphanage we are committed to providing a loving home for our children, where they find safety, health and a new family.

Our children attend the local pre- and primary schools, and we strive at our Home to be an integral part of our local village. Cura is a place where hope has a place to grow.
