Elgin Dental Care: Empowering Communities and Bridging Gaps

At Elgin Dental Care, we firmly believe in extending our hands, not just within the confines of our clinic, but reaching out to those who need us the most. Whether it’s local community initiatives or broader horizons, our mission remains unwavering: to change lives, one smile at a time.
A decade ago, our passionate dental implant surgeon, Fadi Barack, pioneered a mobile clinic in Kenya’s secluded Olorte region. Ever since, we’ve been wholeheartedly backing this venture, with an eye on continuously enhancing its reach and services.
Yet, our alliance with the Starfish Clinic Project International (SCPI) goes beyond teeth. Together, we’ve expanded healthcare horizons to roughly 15,000 Maasai residents, who had no prior access to such essential services. From direct treatments and vaccinations to health education, we’re laying the foundation for a healthier tomorrow. Additionally, our collaboration with RedTribe empowers the Maasai community with skills and resources, fostering holistic growth.

On-The-Ground Initiatives

Our team’s dedication shines brightly as Elgin Dental Care staff spearhead frequent medical missions to Olorte. Under the guidance of our practice principal, Kamal Kamali, we offer an array of medical services, emphasizing dental care and research into local health challenges. Kamal’s mentorship has shaped Florence, the local nurse, into a proficient healthcare provider. To bolster her mobility, Kamal graciously contributed a motorcycle, equipped with necessary gear, ensuring she can reach even the most remote of areas.
We’ve gone the extra mile, literally. In 2017, Elgin Dental Care funded an all-terrain vehicle, amplifying our capabilities from transporting medical supplies to aiding local infrastructure projects.

Connecting Cultures: Beyond Business

Each year, as the festive season rolls around, we proudly showcase exquisite necklaces crafted by Maasai artisans. It’s more than a purchase; it’s an embodiment of mutual respect and appreciation. Your contributions have been monumental. Just between November 2022 and January 2023, with the support of our incredible patients, we raised an impressive £1014.00 through the Red Tribe Beadwork sales at our practice.
Our endeavours with the Maasai community are a testament to the age-old Maasai proverb: “One head cannot hold all wisdom.” As we extend our knowledge and resources, we’re honoured to absorb their rich traditions, insights, and spirit.

Future Visions

Kamal envisions a self-sufficient community. His aspirations range from facilitating comprehensive dental treatments like root canals to creating a digitally integrated lab setup. His ultimate aim? To inspire and empower the locals to do the same.
To every patient, supporter, and believer, your faith fuels our journey. We’re grateful for your unwavering support and look forward to creating more impactful stories together. Thank you for being an essential part of this journey.
