Help Wichana Expand Free Dental Care in Rural Ecuador

Help Wichana Foundation Expand Free Dental Care in Remote Ecuadorian Communities

In the first eight months of 2025, Wichana Foundation has brought free dental care to over 500 people across eight underserved indigenous communities in Ecuador—many of whom live in areas with no dentists and/or lack the financial means to seek care.

Thanks to the dedication of volunteer dentists and assistants, we’ve reached the indigenous communities of:

San Antonio Del Punje

El Cercado

San Martin

Iwas Chupa

Peguche

Piñan

Puerto Santa Ana – Puyo

Cuyabeno – Sucumbíos

These brigades are powered by a mobile dental station—a compact, generator-operated unit light enough to fit on a canoe or in the back of a small pickup truck. It’s a lifeline for families in the Amazon and Andean highlands who would otherwise go years without treatment.

Why We Need Your Help

We’ve seen the transformative power of these brigades: children relieved of chronic pain, and entire communities uplifted by care delivered with dignity and respect.

But one mobile station can only go so far.

We’ve determined that with an additional mobile dental station, we could double our reach and serve more communities waiting for care.

Our Goal: $5,000

Your donation will help us:

Purchase a second mobile dental station

Stock essential treatment materials

Cover travel and logistics for volunteer teams

Every dollar helps us bring health equity to places where the need is great —but financial resources are lacking.
