About
Makalu Dental Clinic
Makalu Dental Clinic is a nonprofit dental care initiative established by 27 committed individuals from the Makalu-Barun region of Nepal. Our mission is to provide free treatment for children and accessible dental services to underserved rural communities, where oral health is often neglected due to financial constraints and limited access to care.
Our Goal
The clinic was founded with the goal of providing affordable and high-quality dental care while raising awareness about oral hygiene. With the collective efforts of individuals from diverse backgrounds—locals and those now residing in Kathmandu and beyond—we are working to restore smiles and improve lives.
Our Supporters
Our initiative is supported by generous donors and well-wishers from around the world, whose contributions enable us to offer essential dental services to underserved populations. From general dental checkups to emergency care, we strive to make oral health a priority in our community.
Our Beliefs & Mission
Makalu Dental Clinic is a nonprofit organization established by 27 compassionate members from the Makalu-Barun region of Nepal. Our mission is to address the growing oral health crisis in rural communities where access to dental care is limited, and many cannot afford treatment.
