SMILESDELIVERED TOTHEMOSTREMOTE AREASOFTHEWORLD

During an outpost visit to Thailand, our team had to travel by local boat and elephant in order to reach the remote villages. Elephants were used to carry all the supplies and equipment to offer dental services to Thai people living in the area.

Our team in Paraguay utilizes air transportation to reach remote areas where dental care is needed. Local bush pilots are hired for this purpose. In some cases, the team also travels by donkey to carry the necessary dental equipment to the site.

Our team in the Philippines, with assistance from the national military, employs military 4x4 vehicles to access hard-to-reach tribal areas in Mindanao and Davao. The presence of the military offering practical aid helps to build trust within local villages, particularly in areas known for guerrilla warfare.

Our outpost in Ghana, with the endorsement of royalty, aims to expand dental services annually to reach all tribal and local villages in Ghana. In the past year, the King's grandsons have become involved in the work of the foundation. In 2023, the King invited the Smiles for Everyone Foundation to Ghana to celebrate the incredible work being done.

The Smiles for Everyone Foundation has a Five-Year Plan to expand the number of International Outposts from six to twelve, serving 100,000 patients per year.

In January 2023, the foundation launched its latest outpost in the Philippines and plans to launch the next outpost in Kenya by July 2023, with an additional two outposts on the African continent planned.

Our outposts have developed partnerships in their own countries that include government agencies, military, corporate sponsors and even the support of royalty

In 2022, the Ghana Smiles for Everyone Outpost increased confidence among Ghanaian children. The lead dentist, Dr. Esther Mark, shared that many children in their outreaches would not speak during class in their schools because they were embarrassed by their teeth.

Our teams were able to treat these children and educate them on proper oral hygiene and health

Many children now have the confidence to speak in class because of their healthy smiles and can now walk into their classroom with smiles on.

Shirley's missing front teeth left her feeling embarrassed and insecure. Each morning, she would use nail glue to affix teeth to her prosthetic, longing for a permanent solution, so she could welcome clients into her beauty salon with a warm smile. One day, Shirley came to our Smiles for Everyone Foundation Paraguay dental clinic, where our team gave her a brand-new, permanent smile

This transformation had a profound impact on Shirley's self-esteem and confidence, which began to shine through in every aspect of her life. Through her bravery and our dedication, Shirley's dignity has been restored, and her beautiful smile is here to stay.

Her story is echoed all over the world, as we continue to restore the smiles of people like Shirley.

Your partnership has the power to transform communities through the provision of muchneeded dental instruments and supplies to our International Outposts.
