- Events in 2013
The oral health charity, Dentaid, is constantly looking for funding to support the unceasing number of requests for help from projects worldwide.
A recent progression at Dentaid is the development of the DentaidBox. Building on the success of Dentaid's portable chair we have now added a portable light and suction unit. Along with an instrument kit and pressure cooker for sterilisation everything fits into a wheelie bin, making it a complete portable dental surgery. The first Dentaid Box was donated to the charity Foodstep in Uganda by the Rotary Club of Kyengera in March 2012.
At a cost of £1500, a DentaidBox will make possible basic oral care in low resource settings, providing help to large numbers of individuals in a very cost-effective way.
An exciting programme of fundraising events has been organised for 2013 including dental volunteering trips to Uganda and Morocco; Trekathons; cycling, running and golf events for the energetic; or there is an A-Z of fundraising ideas for the many Dentaid supporters who like to do their own thing!
Dentaid can supply items to help you ?" posters. T-shirts, collection boxes, balloons, sponsor forms ?" and friendly advice!
