How It All Began...
Dr. Jawad Trad (TJ) was born in Beirut, Lebanon, during the civil war, where he witnessed both the horrors of conflict and the resilience of good people. Having lost his father at age nine, his life’s purpose became clear: to save lives and be a source of hope for others. After moving to the U.S. as a teenager, he earned degrees in biochemistry, biomedical sciences, and invasive cardiology. His true calling emerged during a medical mission to Haiti, followed by work with refugees at the Lebanese-Syrian border—experiences that inspired the founding of CURA for the World.
Driven by a mission to combat poverty and provide care to the forgotten, CURA was created to heal, educate, and spread love in a world too often lacking both.
EST. 2016
Founded in September 2016, CURA has created a sustainable model to lift communities out of poverty through medical aid and permaculture. By partnering with NGOs in remote areas, CURA provides healthcare and food security to communities, enabling them to overcome poverty. Through building medical clinics and teaching sustainable agriculture, we help communities gain access to basic needs, empowering them to invest in education and long-term growth.
CURA has already impacted over 20,000 people in Haiti, Uganda, Peru, DRC, Tanzania, and Burundi, with plans to expand to 30 nations by 2030.
Our mission is to create a world where every community has the opportunity to thrive and eliminate poverty for a better tomorrow.
CURA for the World recognizes there are 41 million uninsured people in the United States, including people who are part of the work force but can not afford medical coverage. This is why we set out to open our first CURA USA clinic in Sapulpa, Oklahoma
