I can't thank Kinywa Salama enough for the incredible work they do! Their mobile dental clinic came to my village, providing free check-ups and treatments. As someone who couldn't afford dental care otherwise, I'm grateful for their compassion and dedication to improving oral health in our communities.

Village Resident

Volunteering with KSI has been an eye-opening experience. The team's passion for promoting oral health is infectious, and I'm proud to be part of their efforts. Seeing the impact we're making firsthand has inspired me to continue supporting their mission however I can.

As a teacher, I've witnessed the positive influence KSI's school-based programs have on our students. Their educational workshops have not only improved oral hygiene habits but also empowered our students to take charge of their health. I'm grateful for their partnership in promoting a healthier school environment.
