Empowering communities,one smileat a time.
A kit is a toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. Volunteers pack them, hand them out, and show people how to use them.
What a kit is
Toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. Chapters take them to schools, Sunday schools, and community centers. Partners have carried the same kit to clinics in Cusco and to students in Nepal, and 600 are going to Afghanistan.

Chapters
Local officers run the events. Pittsburgh started it.
Tap a city for its Instagram. Not every chapter is on the map.
If you already have an oral-health project and need a 501(c)(3) to receive the money, the foundation can sponsor it. How fiscal sponsorship works.
The money buys kits.
One-time, every two weeks, or monthly. A gift can be marked for a chapter or left for the general work.
