Grassroot Smile Initiative - Kano

Meet Mallam Bala, a true champion for cleft care in Kano.

We are proud to support Mallam Bala, one of our dedicated cleft mobilizer, with a motorcycle to enhance his community awareness within Kano State.

His tireless efforts in reaching remote communities across Kano to raise cleft awareness and connect patients with our facility inspires us everyday.

Together, we’re changing lives, one community at a time.

GSI's World Oral Health Day outreach continued today, where we hosted a medical outreach for the valiant soldiers and medical professionals for World Oral Health Day.

We emphasized the vital connection between oral and general health and shared tips on maintaining healthy smiles and bodies.

It's an honor to serve those who serve us. A massive thank you to our Armed Forces for their dedication and unwavering service to our nation.

Happy World Oral Health Day!

Today, the GSI Team provided oral health education and cleft awareness at our hospital, reaching 250+ pregnant women, mothers, and cleft mothers.

Prioritizing Oral Health during pregnancy and motherhood is essential for the overall well-being of both mother and child.

Let's all commit to prioritizing our oral health!

Building smiles together with Naija Smile!

We believe awareness is a collaborative effort. That's why we bring education to the heart of our communities, empowering individuals with knowledge about cleft conditions and providing access to essential oral health resources.

Bringing Smiles to the Grassroots.

The Naija Smile Team visited community centers in Kano to provide free oral care and education to the community.

Oral health is crucial for everyone, and we're proud to collaborate with Access Bank to make this possible.
