In Mankoadze, Ghana, access to dental care has long been out of reach. For many residents, even basic treatment required traveling miles — often by foot or bicycle — to facilities that were understaffed or no longer operating.
Because of this, preventive dental care was not part of everyday life. Small problems went untreated. Pain became normal. And long-term oral health suffered across the entire community.
That is beginning to change.
Pictured above: the Mankoadze dental clinic a few days before the grand opening.
Through a partnership between BG AERO and the Badoe Family Foundation, a new dental clinic officially opened its doors on February 17, 2026 in Mankoadze.
What was once just an idea is now a real, working clinic — providing care to individuals and families who previously had little to no access.
And it is already beginning to serve not only Mankoadze, but surrounding villages as well.
Opening the clinic was a major milestone. But access to care is not a one-time solution — it requires consistency, staffing, and ongoing support.
Oral health affects far more than smiles. Untreated dental issues can lead to chronic pain, infection, missed work or school, and long-term health complications. Now, for the first time, this community has a place to go.
This clinic is exists because of generosity.
Now, continued support ensures it remains open, staffed, and fully equipped to serve the community.
When you give today, you are sustaining something that is already changing lives.
You are helping ensure that this care continues tomorrow, next month, and for years to come.
