The International Association for Human Values (IAHV) recently hosted its first Youth Leadership Training Program (YLTP) Free Dental Camp, coordinated by Youth Leader Lwando Siboninge and Community Leader Kina Mbulelo Dumani.
The initiative was a partnership between IAHV, Projekt Ubuntu, Exchange do Bem, You2Africa, Masi Creative Hub, and Dent Care, a local dental practice serving the community.
The Dental Camp week included free dental and oral hygiene workshops, fun activities, free dental screenings, and free dental treatment for children. During the week, 170 children were screened by Dr Keziah Reddy, with 60 children receiving free dental treatment.
The aim of the Dental Camp is to improve oral hygiene among children and young adults. Good oral hygiene and dental care are an important part of overall health and well-being and help strengthen young immune systems.
This initiative forms part of our YLTP in Community approach, implementing the 5H Programme – Health, Hygiene, Homes, Human Values, and Harmony in Diversity.
Our Youth Leaders continue to serve their communities through a variety of projects, including soccer clubs and youth activities, food gardens and nutrition programmes, free medical and dental camps, clean-up campaigns, the implementation of Breath-Water-Sound workshops, and weekly Meditation Fridays.
The week concluded with a meditation session at the Desmond Tutu Health Foundation, bringing together our Brazilian volunteers and local youth. The meditation was facilitated by Youth Leader Yasmin Mzwai.
IAHV extends its sincere gratitude to all our partners, volunteers, healthcare professionals, and youth leaders for making our first YLTP Free Dental Camp a meaningful success.
