Celebrating 25 years – 285,000 children served!

For 25 years, Global Dental Relief has delivered free dental care to children in Guatemala, Nepal, India, Kenya, Cambodia, and Mexico. Your gift powers the next chapter: investing in quality equipment, expanding preventative care, and growing our volunteer network.

As we celebrate this milestone, we reflect on our journey up to this point – a path marked by hard work, an array of challenges, memorable children, and forced innovation in the field. A special thanks to our volunteers, donors, local partners, and sponsors for your vital role in building this 25-year legacy.

Most importantly, we dedicate this work to the wonderful children under our care in Mexico, Guatemala, India, Cambodia, Nepal and Kenya.

What Volunteers Say

After my first dental volunteer trip I was sure to do this continuously no matter what! This is helping kids in need effectively. This is having enjoyable conversations with new friends. This is creating unforgettable memories. So in my specific case the letters GDR stand for the German Dentist Returns :)”

What Volunteers Say

As a dentist, I have treated and cared for many patients, however, nothing can compare to the sense of fulfilment when volunteering your time and skill to ease the pain and suffering of others. It never ceases to amaze me what can be accomplished when surrounded by dedicated, caring and talented volunteers, such as those I met in past international dental clinics with GDR.
