Now launching · Northern Uganda

A new way to see a dentist.

Most people spend hours travelling just to see a dentist. We're changing that. The Piwan Mobile Dental Unit brings a fully equipped dental clinic directly to your community.

The Piwan Mobile Dental Unit — a fully equipped off-road dental clinic on a Toyota Land Cruiser serving Northern Uganda

The Piwan Mobile Dental Unit is a fully equipped off-road dental clinic built to reach communities across Northern Uganda. Using our specially equipped Toyota Land Cruiser, we deliver quality dental services directly to villages, schools, businesses and trading centres.

Because quality dental care shouldn't depend on where you live.

Why we built it

Northern Uganda has millions of people but very few dental professionals. Many families travel for hours just to have a painful tooth removed. Many never go.

Piwan Mobile Dental Unit exists to change that.

Our mission is to make professional dental care available wherever people live, work and learn.
