In the whole of our province of Oudalan, there is no dental care provision. People suffer with tooth pain, often with no opportunity for relief, without making a long and costly journey to one of the larger towns many miles away. We want to start and equip a Mobile Dental Clinic, taking dental care, education, and training into remote villages.

Lynne has worked as a dentist in the UK since 1995. She has also worked in Mozambique and Thailand, running mobile dental clinics in remote villages and refugee camps, training locals to provide dental health education, pain relief and dental extractions. She now wants to use this experience to help the people of northern Burkina Faso. We have begun talks with the Burkina Faso health authorities, who welcome our intervention.

We would like to start a Mobile Dental Clinic, working primarily in remote villages in the province of Oudalan. We would work together with local pastors, providing dental care alongside the preaching of the gospel. The clinic would have three main medical goals:

• Relief of Pain. Visiting villages, to treat dental problems and pull teeth.

• Education. Teaching people about basic dental hygiene.

• Training. Equipping local people with basic skills for dental extractions.

To start the Clinic, we will need to buy equipment and drugs. We are particularly interested in visiting similar work in Ghana, and seeing how they work there.

Prayer: Please pray for us as we begin to put together the project proposal.
