Each order through us, TUTU is giving $1.00 to help improve Rwanda's devastating dental situation.
Rwanda in 1994, life expectancy from birth was just 28 years. Today, that figure has doubled. However, despite this increase, 18% of deaths are directly linked to treatable oral diseases. These deaths are easily preventable and curable with access to basic dental care and education.
Rwanda currently has 48 dentists in a country with a population of almost 12 million people.
That is 1 dentist per 250,000 potential patients.
By comparison, the US has 1 dentist per every 1,600 patients.
Despite major efforts to rebuild the nation, the statistics remain in despair and the need for more dental care professionals is greater than ever.
