The students below are studying to become a dentist or oral hygienist in Malawi. They are at risk of dropping out because there are insufficient funds to support them in their studies. We help the organization Medic-to-Medic with this. They do the local selection and guidance and work together with the school to see where problems arise. The organization initially only did this for doctors in training. Thanks to Improve, we can now also help dentists in training to complete their studies. This is therefore a supplement to their budget.
