Polio Place

A service of Post-Polio Health International

StandProud

StandProud is a U.S.-registered, tax-exempt, not-for-profit charity created to provide international financial support for selected community organizations in developing countries which:

  • provide corrective treatment, locally-crafted leg braces, and accompanying rehabilitative services, at no cost to poor families with children who have been disabled by polio or who have similar disabilities, and
     
  • promote the full integration of disabled persons into society.
     

At the present time, StandProud is concentrating on providing rehabilitative services for disabled youth in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), where it collaborates closely with partner organization ACDF (l´Association Congolaise "Debout et Fier," meaning The Congolese Association "Standing and Proud").
