Taking Dental Clinics to The Refugees

We had a great couple days with a local dentist named Alan. He ran a dental health clinic at two of our camps built by The Refuge Initiative -- Kawlokan Village & Project Akoyan. We were able to serve 18 Shabak families & 26 Yezidi families with hygiene tips and individual consultations.

Guests from the UK & USA were also able to help instruct the women and children on dental hygiene. Meanwhile, Alan provided additional first aid treatment and medicines to those who needed it.

Thanks to the generosity of a healthcare company in the UK we were able to hand out toothbrushes, toothpaste & dental floss. If you would like to help us to continue to to proved whilst care and support to the refugees in our care you can give to our Iraq Emergency Fund.

Next week we will be at again at our other refugee/IDP camps in Rwandz. Enjoy below some of the photos from the last two days.
