Dental projects in Africa
International dental charity Dentaid is working on projects across Africa, bringing relief to people who are suffering due to a lack of dental care.
In the last month the charity, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary next year, has sent a team of dental professionals to Uganda, two DentaidBoxes to Burkina Faso, and continued to support projects in Uganda and Kenya.
During the two week volunteering trip to Uganda, the team will treat hundreds of adults and children who have no access to dental care. Their trip includes running clinics in the slums of Jinja and working in remote rural locations running oral health education projects and treating people in pain.
Dentaid has also sent two DentaidBoxes - entire dental surgeries that fit into a wheelie bin and can be operated without water or electricity - to Burkina Faso. The delivery was initially delayed by the thwarted military coup but the boxes are now on their way to the capital Ouagadougou so they can be used in clinics. The boxes were kindly sponsored by the Exeter BDA Section and the Rotary Club of Romsey Test.
