Add first reviewSince 2017

Are you looking for a hands-on dentistry experience or a meaningful volunteer opportunity abroad? Do you want to serve rural communities and share your passion and skills in healthcare while exploring Ghana? If you're a professional dentist, dental hygienist, or dental student, St. Miracle Works Educational Foundation (SMWEF) can arrange a rewarding volunteer placement where your expertise is truly needed. SMWEF’s dentistry volunteer program offers you the chance to work directly with local patients while helping underserved communities in places you might never visit otherwise. You’ll support local clinics and hospitals that are often critically understaffed, especially in dental care. Your knowledge and dedication to oral health will make a real difference. With limited access to dental care and oral hygiene education in many areas, your help is vital. We believe everyone deserves access to oral health, and your contribution can bring much-needed relief to growing numbers of patients in need.

Program Highlights

Assist local dentists as they provide free basic dental checks to unprivileged children and educate them on the importance of practicing dental health.

Learn how dentistry is practiced in a developing country by shadowing doctors during their daily routines.

Gain real work experience and develop your skills in a hands-on dental care environment.

Broaden your cross-cultural and global perspectives through immersive international experiences.

Live with a local host family to immerse in the culture and explore the beauty of the country.
