We provide FREE dental services for about 10000 orphans and vulnerable children from the many institutions around Phnom Penh in a clean, caring and modern environment.
We welcome handicapped and traumatized children.
OUR MISSION
We believe that by providing quality dental treatment in a cocoon of care that we relieve some distress in these children's life, and return to them some dignity and self-respect.
Our staff are carefully chosen to provide role models for their development within Khmer society.
We also provide a platform for medical, nutritional and citizenship education.
We are now able to offer very advanced preventative treatments including fluoridated glass ionomer restorations.
Cambodia World Family
Welcome to Dental Volunteers for Cambodia
Why Cambodia?
Cambodian society is still weak after years of colonialism and war.
This can result in failed family structures and poor parenting, extreme poverty and malnutrition…
Children suffer greatly in this environment.
Part of their suffering is dental: infection, pain, fever, poor appetite.
Many institutions do look after these children: up to 1 million by UN measurement and many more abandoned handicapped and HIV +ve children.
At CWF, We feel lucky that we can directly help the children by relieving pain and infection that is so common in poor children and we relieve the Institutions of the financial burden of extensive dental treatment.
By delivering treatment and prevention in our environment, we can make Dentistry for up to 12000 children: effective, affordable, sustainable and dare, I say it, pleasurable.
Sorry: we do not take dental students
