GRACE Smiles: Dental Hygiene Project

Summary

By supplying basic dental hygiene items (toothbrush, tooth paste, dental floss, and mouth wash) to the children we service in Thailand, as well are other areas in need, we hope to bring forth a better quality of life to those in need. Dental hygiene kits will be sent around the world to children who may not have adequate dental care available to them.

Challenge

Many children around the global are faced with the issue of poor dental hygiene. Dental products, such as toothbrushes, tooth paste, dental floss, and mouth wash are a luxury in high poverty areas.

Solution

This project will seek to provide basic dental items to children who normally would not have access to them. GRACE has been issuing dental hygiene supplies to out centers in Thailand since 2013 and are excited to take this project even further by assisting other impoverished communities and/or those hit by crises or disaster.

Long-Term Impact

The medical community has proven the effects that poor dental health has on other parts of the body (like the heart). The long-term impact could be life saving. As an anti-trafficking organization, we are constantly seeking to eliminate vulnerabilities in high risk individuals - proper hygiene and wellness included. We also are a crises relief organization - in this capacity, we can provide essential items to areas experiencing natural or man-made disasters.
