With the gracious support of many wonderful people, we have held dental education seminars as well as dental projects at schools and orphanages across Eastern Africa and India. We continue to serve underprivileged children internationally. With your continued support we can continue to grow & serve. We aim to promote good oral hygiene across the globe :). If you would like to get involved, feel free to contact me. Dental Public Health service projects improve the oral health of children by promoting education about good dental health.
Welcome to my Dental Public Health e-Portfolio. My name is Ruhee Jaffer and this website showcases my Dental Community Service projects. Over eleven hundred; 1,100, underprivileged children have been served so far. By educating the children on why it is important to brush and floss, and also by providing dental supplies (tooth brushes, floss, mouth wash) they are better equipped to take charge of their own dental health!
Meno means tooth in the Swahili language. For me Meno is an analogy for good Dental Health.
