The Give Water, Give Health campaign is a partnership between Smile Generation, a network of dental offices, and Charity: Water, a nonprofit organization that brings clean and safe water to people around the world. Since 2009, Smile Generation has been supporting Charity: Water by raising funds from its offices, dentists, staff and patients. For every $30 donation, Smile Generation provides $100 off dental treatment, making it a win-win for both the donors and the recipients. The funds raised during this year’s campaign will go towards building water projects in communities in Ethiopia.
The campaign aims to achieve positive effects for both the people who receive clean water and the people who provide dental care. By bringing clean water to hundreds of communities around the world, the campaign helps improve health, hygiene, education, and economic opportunities for millions of people. Clean water also reduces the risk of waterborne diseases, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. For Smile Generation, the campaign helps build trust and loyalty with its customers, as well as enhance its social responsibility and reputation. The campaign also aligns with Smile Generation’s mission of creating healthier and happier smiles for everyone.
