Meno Bora Maisha Bora
Meno Bora Maisha Bora is Swahili for healthy teeth health life. PCF's Community Oral Health Program created this children's book to help parents teach their young children good oral hygiene habits.
We were thrilled to launch this book in the village of Luhombero in September! Our Community Dental Workers, Ally, Richard, Beatrice, and Theresia first screened a group of participants about their current knowledge regarding oral hygiene. Then they conducted an education session teaching parents how to care for their children's teeth as well as their own. Finally each family there received a book to take home.
It was amazing to watch adults and children paging through this beautiful book many learning about oral health for the first time, and some touching a book for the first time.

Annual Report 2023
The last months have been exciting, challenging, and very encouraging. As Nancy and I look back it seems hard to believe that we first went to Tanzania in 2009, fourteen years ago. We had no idea what doors God would open. It has been a great joy to partner both with the wonderful people of Tanzania and the generous people of Canada who are so encouraging and supportive.
