OneOC is proud to partner with World Health Dental Organization (WHDO) in the recruitment of the Executive Director position.ORGANIZATION OVERVIEWThe World Health Dental Organization is a nonprofit organization based in the United States working towards its mission to bring high-quality, compassionate, always-free dental care and education to underserved communities around the world.
WHDO founded its flagship location, the Maasai Dental Clinic, on the Maasai Mara in 2009 because the Maasai people of south Kenya live in a particularly underserved area. There are 44 million people in Kenya and fewer than 1,000 dentists. Driven by a passion to do good and give back, WHDO brings licensed dentists and hygienists from all over the world to serve as volunteers in its state-of-the-art facility and to ensure only the highest quality of care.
Each year WHDO builds connections and brings smiles to thousands of people. Nearly 4,000 Maasai men, women, and children receive free dental treatment at the Maasai Dental Clinic. WHDO is also investing in future generations of healthy teeth and gums by collaborating with local educators to develop and implement culture and age-appropriate dental care curricula.“It was absolutely my pleasure to be at the clinic for five weeks. I have traveled a lot and it was the best experience ever. It almost feels like home!”
