Our foundation
Mission & vision
We believe that dental health is a human right.
Our mission
To improve oral health amongst the world’s most vulnerable communities through education and prevention, in close collaboration with local partners – so that more children can live, learn and thrive without toothache.
Our vision
A world where all children have access to basic dental care – regardless of where they live, their financial situation or their social circumstances. We are working towards a future where no one suffers unnecessarily from dental diseases that can be prevented and treated.
Our values
Professionalism
We adhere to high dental and clinical standards – even when resources are limited.
Partnership
We develop and implement our initiatives in close collaboration with local partners, based on local needs.
Sustainability
We place particular emphasis on local ownership and capacity-building. That is why we strive to find solutions that can be sustained and developed locally – even after the project has ended.
Respect
We treat all people, cultures and local communities with respect, humility and as equals.
