About

Since 2000, Smiles has served more than 60,000 needy children and adults with free oral hygiene services and education, while graduating over  42 indigenous dental hygienists, creating long-term sustainable change in the communities we serve. We currently partner with 52 nonprofit organizations including orphanages, burn centers and shelters, to reach some of the most vulnerable populations in Bolivia.

Our work has received international recognition, most notably in 2016, when we were honored with the Sunstar Foundation’s World Dental Hygienist - Projcet Award for excellence in global dental hygiene initiatives.

Take Action

Every day, our deddicated staff and volunteers transform lives through their work in Bolivia - bringing essential dental care and education to those who need it most. None of this would be possible without the generous support of our donors and partners.
