Contribute to the Opal HUMANITY cause with your donations

Opal HUMANITY is largely funded by our practice, Opal Dental Studio, which provides the dental equipment needed for each mission. However, your support is essential if we are to go even further. Your donations will enable us to strengthen our actions on the ground, extend our reach and make a more lasting impact on communities in need.

We are committed to total transparency in the use of every donation, whether it’s for dental equipment, medicines or other health supplies. In addition to your support, we work with dental suppliers, pharmacies and other partners to ensure that every contribution is maximised.

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