Fundacion Pro Integracion (or Fundación Pro Integración) is a Panama City, República de Panama based non-profit foundation with the mission of helping children and adults with disabilities, without discriminating age, gender or social status, who reside across Panama, with special focus on serving low-income populations. The foundation has 17 chapters nationwide and has served 70,000 people, including 40,000 poor youngsters.[2][3]

Each year approximately 800 children and adults receive donated hearing aids that cost $1,500 and more per unit. In October 2014 Fundacion Pro Integracion was recognized by the Hear the World Foundation for their commitment to helping poor children by servicing them with hearing testing and supplying them with hearing aids.[2][4]
