Assisting international communities with dental care, education.
Venture into the heart of Uganda, a country known for its breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and resilient communities. From the rolling hills of the countryside to the serene waters of Lake Victoria, Uganda offers an extraordinary blend of natural beauty and cultural depth. Experience the vibrant local life, where traditional practices and modern aspirations meet, creating a unique and enriching atmosphere.
This service trip focuses on addressing the critical need for dental care and education in Uganda, where access to these services is often limited. You’ll have the opportunity to provide much-needed dental care, offering relief and promoting oral health in communities that lack regular access to such services. Additionally, you’ll support educational initiatives that empower individuals and strengthen local communities. Join us in Uganda, where your efforts will contribute to lasting change and leave a positive impact on the lives of those you serve.

You do not need experience, we will train you on the job. A lot of what our volunteers will be doing various jobs, based on what you would like to do. We will find the right spot for you based on your comfortability and how you would like to help. There are many levels that you can get involved with, from administrative work, basic oral hygiene work, to assisting the doctors.
The Center For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gives recommendations to the three parts of the world that we are going to. For Uganda and Ghana, there is a live vaccine that is required, and that is the yellow fever vaccine. You need to have a card saying you were vaccinated for yellow fever. Malaria vaccines are important for traveling to these parts of the world as well. The CDC will give you a recommendation based on which country you are traveling to. You will have the vaccination done a day before getting on the plane, and then continue those vaccines a week after your return. Also it is important to note that we do not cover these vaccines in our fees.
