Inspiring women transforming Sri Lankan lives

Catherine McCanny Hendron and Martina Hodgson were motivated to donate the Tuk Tuks by a presentation from the Rosie May Foundation to Inspiring Women in Dentistry, which aims to encourage more women to achieve their full potential within dentistry in the UK.

The Tuk Tuks are just part of the work being done by the Nottingham based Rosie May Foundation in Sri Lanka and Nepal to help empower women and girls and provide greater life chances.

Both Catherine, from St Michael’s Orthodontics in Wakefield, and Martina, from The Dental Studio, East Ardsley, made their donations off the back of Invisalign, the clear orthodontic dental treatment for realigning teeth that they both provide. Catherine marked the occasion of her 500^th Invisalign treatment and reaching Diamond provider status with a £4,000 donation to buy one Tuk Tuk and support training for two female drivers while Martina donated £50 for each Invisalign treatment she has carried out to fund a second.
