Look at Jitesh’s smile. There is hope behind it.

Thanks to compassionate supporters, Jitesh has been connected with specialised orthopaedic care in Nepal.

His left foot has now been operated on, and a specialised Ilizarov frame is gradually correcting its position. Once treatment on his left foot is complete, treatment can begin on his right.

There are still months of treatment and rehabilitation ahead.

But Jitesh is already thinking about what could come next.

“I’ll be able to walk and I’ll be very happy.”

Your generosity can help make life-changing surgery, orthopaedic care, and rehabilitation possible for more young people like Jitesh.

Sometimes the struggles people carry can’t be seen.

A kind word. A listening ear. Feeling included, valued, and understood. Small acts of compassion can make a meaningful difference in someone’s day.

At cbm, inclusion means recognising the whole person – and working towards a world where everyone can participate, belong, and thrive.

Today, may we remember to look out for one another, with kindness and compassion.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another.” – Ephesians 4:32

“I couldn’t afford the treatment on my own.”

For years, Jitesh’s father, Manoj, desperately wanted a different future for his son.

But as a farmer and daily labourer who does not own land of his own, the specialised treatment Jitesh needed was simply beyond his family’s reach.

Then an outreach camp connected Jitesh with the care he needed.

That’s where caring people like you can make all the difference.

Your generosity can help reach families living in poverty, connect young people with specialised care, and make treatment possible when there is simply no way their families could afford it alone.

Sixteen-year-old Jitesh has a dream. He wants to become an engineer.

He loves science, cricket, and works hard at school. But Jitesh was born with severe clubfoot affecting both feet, making walking, getting around school, and joining his friends incredibly difficult.

He has even endured cruel comments because of his disability.

“I feel sad when they make fun of me,” Jitesh says.

But poverty should never be the reason a young person is denied the treatment that could transform their future.

Your kindness can help change that.

Your gift can help young people like Jitesh in Nepal access life-changing surgery and rehabilitation their families could never afford alone.
