Please help StandProud to make 2018 a better year for young disabled children in the DRC by providing orthopedic surgery, equipment and rehab to those waiting, for equipment, before the year is over. 

StandProud has partnered with ACDF (Congolese Association Standing and Proud) since 1999 to provide free life-changing orthopedic equipment, physical rehabilitation, and educational support to the most underprivileged children across six centers throughout the DR Congo, the largest country in Sub-Saharan Africa, and one of the poorest on the continent.  Most children that we support are paralyzed due to earlier illness with polio or as a result of poorly given injections into delicate leg nerves. 

StandProud is a registered charity in the UK, US and Switzerland (www.standproud.org) and gifts made in the US are tax deductible and will be transferred directly into the StandProud account.  All contributions will go to treating beneficiaires currently waiting on our waiting lists for funds to become available.
