Zanzibar sustainable dental aid
Organized by Dental Aid Network

Our Story
Help Us Restore Smiles in Zanzibar
Our recent dental aid mission to Zanzibar highlighted the immense need for accessible dental care. Over one week, our volunteer team screened around 800 patients and provided hundreds of emergency treatments, relieving pain for people who would otherwise have had nowhere to turn.
Many government clinics work tirelessly with limited resources, meaning treatment is often focused on extractions rather than saving teeth. Essential materials, equipment and medicines are often unavailable, and there is a severe shortage of trained dental professionals across the region.
Our volunteers are 100% self-funded, covering the cost of their own flights, accommodation and travel. This means that every donation goes directly towards delivering dental care and supporting local services, rather than funding volunteer expenses.
Your donation will help provide:
- 🦷 Dental materials to restore and save teeth, including filling materials, local anaesthetic and essential equipment.
- 💊 Pain relief and antibiotics for patients suffering from dental infections.
- 📚 Oral health education to help patients prevent dental disease before it starts.
- 👩⚕️ Training, mentorship and continuing education for local dental therapists, helping to strengthen the local workforce and improve patient care long after our mission has ended.
Our aim is not simply to provide treatment for one week, but to create lasting change. By equipping clinics, supporting local dental teams and sharing knowledge, we can help improve access to quality dental care for years to come.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps relieve pain, restore smiles and build a more sustainable future for the people of Zanzibar.
Thank you for being part of that change.
