October 2023: International team of dentists provides voluntary care for patients in Madagascar
Our international team of dentists, assistants and helpers will travel to Madagascar in October 2023 for Menschenfreude e.V. to provide dental care to hundreds of patients in several villages. For the mission, we created fundraisers to collect donations of money and materials. For example, as part of the official Dental Health Day (25.9.) and other occasions.

Dental missions to Madagascar – 400 patients treated – more to be provided through donations
