Stand Tall International

Our mission is to arrange and fund life saving spinal surgeries for children with severe spinal deformities and provide a pathway for them to Stand Tall by offering an opportunity for education, housing, and any other needs, .

Meet Jamila

Jamila’s (10 years old) family first noticed a problem at 2 years of age. She went to a hospital that said they couldn’t help and sent her home. She has pain which interferes with her walking and her balance. She has not had any treatment since that first visit to the hospital. 

About Spinal Surgery

Given the state of the local healthcare infrastructure, Stand Tall is currently one of the few organizations in Tanzania that can help patients afflicted with severe spinal problems and deformities.  As a result, this is Stand Tall’s most ambitious and comprehensive program.
