Millennium Fellowship Project: School Oral Health Outreach
Vision: A future where every child has the knowledge, tools, and confidence to maintain a healthy smile, contributing to the overall well-being of their community.
Mission: School oral health outreach is dedicated to achieving SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) by launching a comprehensive school oral health education outreach program. The Problem: Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease of childhood, despite being largely preventable. Many children lack access to consistent, engaging oral health education, leading to pain, infections, difficulty learning, and absenteeism from school.
