What can we buy with $$$ raised from volunteers?
- $20 can buy 2,000 vitamins for adults, which goes to help patients who lack regular nutrients in their diet. This will also buy a day’s worth of gloves in our dental clinics.
- $50 can buy 250 tablets of ciprofloxacin, which goes to treat patients with bacterial infections. It can also purchase enough composite restorative material to fill over 50 teeth.
- $300 can buy 200 bottles of children’s acetaminophen, which goes to treat children with colds and flus.
- $500 can buy enough medications for one mobile clinic day and treat up to 100 patients
- ... or buy enough supplies to perform prophylaxis (teeth cleaning to prevent disease) for all patients during one full trip.
This can add up quick! The rest goes towards funding medical outreach trips.
