A real life story from Turma do Bem

The Geistlich charity walk and run in October 2020 supported Turma do Bem, the NGO which makes dental treatment available for the victims of violence in Brazil.

One of the beneficiaries is Joanildes. She lived for 45 years in an abusive relationship, with no access to dental care and treatment.

She was almost edentulous when she learned about Turma do Bem in 2013 – a connection which restored her smile after full-mouth rehabilitation. “Having a smile gave back my life and dignity,” she says. “I got my voice back, to help other victims of domestic violence.”

Joanildes smiles again after full-arch rehabilitation.
