Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Elmsleigh House is proud to be a Gold Unity Partner of Bridge2Aid, a charity that trains healthcare workers in rural communities of East Africa and other developing nations in emergency dental care. Our aim is to raise awareness and money for this charity with a free of charge, invite only day of lectures at The Aviator Hotel, Farnborough on Friday October 9th 2015. All we ask is that you listen to their story and donate what you can for this great cause!

Three quarters of the world’s population has no access to the most simple dental pain relief, leaving billions to face a daily battle with pain in the toughest of life circumstances.

Bridge2Aid believes the impact of untreated caries on people’s lives is huge – and demands attention. There is a simple, affordable and effective way to make access to pain relief possible – train rural Health Workers to safely extract infected teeth and relieve pain. This is what they do.

Bridge2Aid empowers Health Workers who are already established and well respected members of rural communities, providing them with the skills, experience and equipment to help those in need. Training is carried out by volunteer dentists and dental nurses who spend approximately two weeks in East Africa with Bridge2Aid participating in a Dental Volunteer Programme.
