About RSMC Foundation
The aim of the RSMC Foundation is to improve oral health in sub-Saharan Africa through innovative prevention and access programs in disadvantaged populations. We partner with dentistry professionals and agencies in target countries to provide free dental care in rural and underserved communities.
RSMC Foundation works closely with governments, dental and health professionals, manufacturers, the dental trade, national and local agencies, and the public, to achieve our mission of addressing the inequalities which exist in oral health in sub-Saharan African underserved communities.

We have volunteer opportunities for dentists, people with no dental training, and in between! We can teach you all you need to know before deployment to the field.

Are you a dental business?
Oral health care, education, and promotion for all ages and genders are needed but unavailable in most rural areas in sub-Saharan Africa. Providing basic oral health education in sub-Saharan African rural communities and schools through dental collaborations with business partners and funding mobile health clinics can reduce the risks of oral diseases.
RSMC’s Foundation’s Strategic Partners and volunteer teams include general dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and other volunteers who travel to multiple sites to provide dental education, cleanings, emergency extractions, and oral hygiene supplies. Each year, RSMC Foundation works with its Strategic Partners to determine the best way to support sustained improvements in oral hygiene in underserved sub-Saharan rural communities.
We would welcome your partnership to help achieve our mission of providing oral care to underserved rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Please fill out the contact form below, and a specialized representative will be in touch to discuss various partnership opportunities

RSMC Foundation Charity of Choice
RSMC Foundation's partners are in need of ongoing funding to maximize the number of people we can help and to support the free dentistry programs. With little to no access to dental professionals, our patients often come to us as the sole option for dental healthcare. All donations directly support dental operations, including the purchase and shipment of supplies, the travel costs of volunteers, and the medical equipment necessary to care for our target communities in sub-Saharan Africa.
