Millennium Fellowship Project: Smile For All
Our project focuses on SDG 3, Good Health and Well-being, with the goal of promoting preventive oral health practices among children and teachers. We believe that starting oral hygiene habits early is key to lifelong health, and we’re passionate about making oral health education accessible, fun, and impactful. Through school visits, interactive sessions, and easy-to-understand resources, we helped children understand the importance of brushing, flossing, and caring for their teeth. We shared toothbrushes, toothpastes and other materials to both teachers and pupils.
