Dear Donors,
Thank you for your interest in the SMILE Project and for caring about the oral health of disadvantaged adults in Nigeria. Your concern brings hope to individuals who have lived for years with tooth loss and its daily challenges.
Many low-income and elderly Nigerians lose their teeth due to decay and untreated gum disease. Dentures are costly and remain out of reach for those struggling to afford basic needs. Tooth loss affects nutrition, speech, and self-confidence, often leading to social withdrawal. This project aims to reach more than 3,000 beneficiaries through free dental outreach camps, oral screenings, and denture fittings. Partnering with dentists and dental technicians, we will provide free dentures and deliver oral hygiene education to help prevent further tooth loss.
At this time, no donations have been received, and funds are needed before outreach activities can begin. We kindly invite you to support or share this initiative so more individuals can regain their smiles and dignity.
With sincere appreciation,
Joy Ojochogwu Etubi
