Sustainability
Dentists for Africa has been providing development cooperation in three areas since 1999.



Until today we have established
14 dental units in Kenya and facilitated
1100 sponsorships for orphans. More than 480 of our sponsees have so far finished their vocational training.


Sustainable cooperation in dentistry, training and social projects.

"The three pillars- dental project, sponsorship project and widow´s cooperative are interconnected and benefit from each other. Many sponsees choose medical professions and later contribute to our work."

Current Issues at Dentists for Africa

Christmas raffle 22/23 |

The 2022 Christmas voucher campaign was once again a complete success. We were able to collect 10,455 euros in the campaign. The donors in Germany used the money to buy vouchers, for example for chickens, fruit trees, goats and seeds for the widows' cooperative and for exercise books, school books and much more for the sponsored children. The vouchers were converted into donations in kind in Kenya. In this way, every euro donated not only benefits the widows of the St. Monica Village cooperative and the DfA sponsored children, but also the local economy. The donations are distributed among the women in a raffle. The children were given the donations by Sr. Seraphine, the director of the sponsorship office. Especially for the widows, the distribution of the goods is an annual highlight. Details about the Christmas raffle for the widows can be found in our report.
