Our long-term Vision: The Opal Humanity healthcare truck

At the heart of Opal Humanity is a long-term vision: to build mobile, sustainable, and autonomous healthcare solutions for underserved populations.

The main objective is to create a customized medical truck, equipped with dental chairs, to intervene directly in remote villages, where healthcare facilities are often non-existent.

This truck will enable rapid intervention, setting up mobile medical camps to treat, educate, and train, and above all, to create human connections with local populations.

More than just a tool, this truck will serve as a basis for the construction of permanent health centers in the regions visited.

A sustainable vision beyond missions

While our current priority is the launch of the truck, our project goes much further:
  • Two-year missions to establish a real local connection.
  • A permanent health center, with wells and medical services.
  • Empowerment of local professionals.

How can you contribute

Our truck is at the heart of the project. Although it is partly funded by our practice, Opal Dental Studio, this is not enough to cover all our needs.

Your support is essential to equip and run the truck, and thus reach the most isolated areas with regular, free, and quality care.

Your donations will help fund:

  • The purchase and fitting out of the medical truck
  • Essential healthcare equipment and medicines
  • Oral hygiene kits for beneficiaries
  • Educational and preventive actions in villages

We are committed to complete transparency regarding the use of each donation, whether it is for the purchase of dental equipment, medicines, or other healthcare supplies. In addition to your support, we work with dental suppliers, pharmacies, and various partners to ensure that every contribution is maximized.

Together, we can change lives and bring smiles back to those who need them most.
