African Aid International hasn't added a story.
Hello and welcome to our campaign!
African Aid International is a Canadian registered charity which treats thousands of African children and their families in our free dental clinics every year. We are the only organization providing dental treatment in the areas we serve, and the situation on the ground is really desperate. Every day we see children suffering with horrific pain from dental disease that could have easily been avoided. We started our program in 2014 treating patients in a sub-leased clinic in downtown Conakry, which we continue to operate. In August 2017 we opened the first dedicated free dental clinic in Africa in Bonfi, Guinea where we presently have two adult chairs and dentists treating patients. These chair setups are good for adults and teenagers, but it's hard for small children to be treated comfortably in these larger chair units. We now need to setup a dedicated pediatric clinic for kids in our clinics second treatment room. The cost of this treatment room is $35,000.00, of which we have $10,000.00 already committed by corporate sponsors. This leaves us a shortfall of $25,000.00 which we urgently need to raise so we can begin treating thousands of suffering children who are waiting for us. We are their only hope, and the alternative is simply too painful to contemplate.
The money we're raising goes directly to purchase the necessary equipment and supplies for the next six months. Any extra money raised will go to hire another dentist and buy more supplies, so we can continue treating even more people. In a country of over ten million people, we are the only ones providing this urgent medical service, but we need your help to continue!
At AAI we have no fancy offices or executive perks and we are a 100% volunteer organization. This means that every dollar raised goes straight to those in need and not to salaries, advertising or administration. We aim to raise this amount within two month's so that we can begin treating even more children by March. We will post regular updates here and on our social media accounts so you can see the direct effect of your donations, and of our ongoing work.
On behalf of all the people we are privileged to help, thank you for being partners in our work - we couldn't do this without you!
