StandProud seeks to maximize the number of children and youth in DR Congo who have access to walking aids and who are able to participate in all normal aspects of Congolese society. StandProud fulfills its mission by raising financial support to provide leg braces (with corrective treatment rehabilitative services) at no cost to poor families and by promoting the integration of children with disabilities through increased opportunities for normal education and through participation in cultural activities.
