Our first dental mission in Bolivia. 🇧🇴🦷
This fall, we took an important first step in Bolivia: our very first dental mission.
For two weeks, two different volunteer teams travelled between schools in La Paz and El Alto, setting up temporary dental clinics directly in classrooms and providing dental care to 561 children.
But the mission was about more than treatment.
Alongside dental care, the teams spent time with children and parents, sharing knowledge about toothbrushing and oral health.
Our local partners and translators were an essential part of the work — helping us connect with schools, families, and children throughout the mission.
As our first mission in Bolivia, the experience also gave us valuable insight into how we can develop future missions. Every mission is different, and we will take what we have learned from this first experience with us as we continue our work in Bolivia.
This was our first mission — and the beginning of something we hope to build together. ❤️
Applications are now open for our next dental mission in Bolivia in February 2027. 🇧🇴
Dentists, dental hygienists, and dental students are welcome to apply.
Applications close on 22 October 2026.
