-svyset-  followed by -svy: prop- or -svy: tabulate- will do it.   The
-help- for "survey" will guide you to those commands.
With simple random sampling within strata, no hypothesis testing, the
commands would be:
svyset _n [pw =wh], strata(stratum_var) fpc(Nh)
svy: prop x
// or
svy: tab x   //better CIs with very small or large proportions
Note that "Stata" is not  spelled "STATA"
