SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMMES
In memory of founding team member, Caroline Urbanik Szymaniak

CAROLINE CARES SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME - UGANDA
The Caroline Cares Scholarship Programme was an initiative that was very close to Caroline's heart. Each year, one deserving female student receives a full scholarship to receive their dental education. The students then join us when we arrive in Uganda to volunteer and learn from our team.
Women in Uganda typically do not have the same economic opportunities as men. Research has shown that when women in developing nations are given the opportunity to obtain an education, they have the ability to lift their communities out of poverty. Traditionally, men are far more likely than women to receive continuing education in Uganda, and Caroline cared deeply about providing opportunity to these women.
