Meet Grace

Grace is a beautiful 12 year old girl who lives in Marangu, right on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro.  You actually have to drive past her house to get to the entrance to the mountain. Grace has been on our Surgery list since 2021 and she has finally been scheduled for surgery in 2026!

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.
