Participate & Collaborate

Join Us in Protecting Coastal Smiles

Whether you lead a school, practice dental medicine, direct a healthcare center, or wish to underwrite field equipment, there is a transparent, structured pathway to collaborate.

Pathway 1

Request a School or Madrasa Screening Visit

We partner with primary schools, early childhood centers, and madrasas across Mombasa and Kwale to deliver classroom oral health education, tooth-brushing instructions, non-invasive visual screenings, and topical fluoride varnish. Every outreach operates with strict safeguarding standards, requiring prior institutional authorization and documented caregiver consent.
