Dental Project’s Impact is Amazing
The Children’s AIDS Fund International (CAFI) operating under a MAXIMUS Foundation grant, in conjunction with local partner Children’s AIDS Fund Uganda (CAFU), implemented an oral health project for children infected by HIV/AIDS. This project’s impact is amazing. Please read just one of the many letters received from the grateful youth, parents and guardians reached.
I am taking this opportunity to thank the staff of Family Hope Centre for helping me treat my teeth and removing the bad ones. Before this treatment, I used to feel a lot of teeth ache but since you gave me this treatment, I now feel very good and have no more teeth pain. I also want to thank the doctor who taught us how to take good care of our teeth and brush daily three time. I see a very big change ever since I started following the doctors instruction. Thank you so much and God bless you. Please teach us more anytime you can, I will be very happy to listen and following my doctor’s instructions. Thank you again bye, bye.
Sincerely,
P. 5 (primary five) 11 years.
Dental caries is the world’s most common chronic disease, with 60 to 90% of school children having dental cavities
The seven month project (July 2015 to January 2016) was intended to reduce oral dental disease among HIV children and improve their quality of life. Dental services were provided by Uganda based RUN dental services.
