Children’s Oral Health Program

Niiky Foundation is committed to ensuring that every child has access to high-quality health services. Our mission is to narrow the health equity gap and enhance the overall well-being of children in disadvantaged communities. In early 2023, the Niiky Foundation initiated a partnership with “Treatment House”, a non-profit children’s medical center operating under the supervision of the Iranian Dental Association and dedicated volunteers. The collaborative effort aimed to enhance the well-being of children in underrepresented areas, including Moulavi, Eslamshahr, Shahriar, Shahr-e Ray, Pakdasht, and Karaj. Throughout the partnership, progress was closely monitored to ensure the effective delivery of services.

Treatment House, committed to supporting dental services in these underserved regions, aligns its mission with Niiky Foundation’s objective of providing children with access to high-quality oral healthcare services and imparting crucial education on maintaining proper oral hygiene.

The following activities have been conducted as part of this program:

  • Dental check-ups: children underwent a comprehensive dental examination to assess their oral health condition and identify any dental problems.
  • Treatment: The children were provided with necessary dental treatments such as cleaning, fillings, and extractions.
  • Oral hygiene education: The children were educated on the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene practices.

As of now, we granted the sum of $7,210 raised under the healthcare program to cover essential oral health services for children under the age of 18. This support unfolds in two phases:

Phase 1 – Spring 2023: $4,710 was allocated for 22 children to receive oral health services (receipts here).

Phase 2 – Fall 2023: $2,500 was granted for 11 children to receive oral health services (receipts here).

 

We thank our local healthcare providers and volunteers for their support in making the campaign a success. We also extend our gratitude to our donors for their generous contributions towards the campaign.

This program remains in need of ongoing financial support to sustain the operations of this facility for children. Your continued donation is crucial in ensuring that we can keep this house open, providing essential services and care for the well-being of the kids. We appreciate and welcome any additional donation to help maintain and expand the positive impact of this project.
