Smile Gabon
At Sacred Roots Foundation, we are committed to transforming health outcomes in Gabon through our project, Smile Gabon, which is dedicated to tackling the urgent dental health crisis affecting vulnerable communities, particularly young people. In Gabon, preventable dental issues such as untreated cavities and infections frequently escalate into life-threatening conditions due to limited access to dental care and education. This dental health crisis isn’t just a matter of medical neglect—it’s a humanitarian issue that leaves countless individuals, especially children, suffering in silence. Smile Gabon aims to change this reality by providing access to life-saving dental procedures, preventative care, and education that empowers individuals and communities to prioritize their oral health.
Through Smile Gabon, our mission is to save lives by addressing both immediate and long-term dental health needs. We work with local healthcare providers to offer essential treatments that prevent minor dental issues from becoming severe, systemic health problems that can lead to complications such as endocarditis, a condition that can be fatal. By bringing resources, treatment, and education directly to those in need, we’re working to build a foundation for sustainable health improvements in Gabon. Every contribution to Smile Gabon directly supports our commitment to ending unnecessary suffering and ensuring that every individual has the chance for a healthy smile and a brighter, healthier future.
Past Gabon Projects
Fostering sustainability through beekeeping
Sacred Roots Foundation is excited to be a part of a beekeeping project with the Association for the Development of Cultures of Pygmy People of Gabon (ADCPPG). This initiative provides protective equipment, hives, and intensive training to beekeeper apprentices while welcoming all community members to participate in practical sessions. This inclusive approach aims to cultivate interest in beekeeping as a viable profession and expand the community of skilled beekeepers.
The training program encompasses modern beekeeping techniques for producing premium honey and wax. It includes lessons on hive installation, understanding bee biology, monitoring colony health, honey harvesting and processing techniques, and wax purification for products like candles. This project is more than skill development; it’s an educational journey into the bees’ world, highlighting their role in ecosystems, the local honey flora, and natural pest control methods. By its conclusion, participants will gain beekeeping proficiency and a deep appreciation of the environmental significance of bees.
