Programs and results
What we aim to solve
More than 6 million people around the world are unable to stand and bear weight on their legs resulting in serious physical and social health sequelae. Standing frames are one of the few ways that these individuals can combat their physical disability and make progress or ward off complications assisted with the inability to stand. Stand With Me is working to make standing therapy more accessible around the world by producing and distributing our standing frame with is both low-cost and made from universally available parts to people who desperately need them.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We aim to get a standing frame into the home of every child who needs one.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We have a twofold strategy for making standing therapy more accessible. First is by having operational production facilities and workshops functioning as "hubs", that are responsible for making large quantities of standing frames and distributing them to the surrounding region. Second we are developing an open source instruction manual which provides open access to a way to build a standing frame no matter where you are in the world or one of our production hubs.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We currently have a permanent production facility in Xenacoj, Guatemala, and a part time workshop in Arequipa, Peru producing a total of approximately 300 standing frames per year. We have distributed more than 1,000 standing frames to date to 8 countries on 3 continents since our start in 2014. We are now testing our open access manual prior to release.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
More than 1,000 standing frames produced.
Distribution to 8 countries.
Two current production locations.
Open Access Instruction Manual in progress.
