Outreach for people living with disabilities
With LASODA, we brought dental care and care packs to students at Modupe Cole Memorial Child Care and Treatment Home School, Akoka.
People living with disabilities face extra barriers to dental care, from getting to a clinic to finding one that can accommodate them. Our People with Disabilities Outreach takes care to them instead, at Modupe Cole Memorial Child Care and Treatment Home School in Akoka, Yaba, in partnership with LASODA, the Lagos State Office for Disability Affairs.
Our team delivered dental check-ups, oral-health education and donated supplies, in line with our commitment to reduced inequalities.
