The Afghanistan Dental Relief Project (ADRP) is a humanitarian organization based in Santa Barbara, CA, dedicated to providing free dental care and oral health education to the people of Afghanistan. Founded in 2003 by Dr. James Rolfe, the ADRP aims to address the dire healthcare situation in Afghanistan, where the healthcare system is on the verge of collapse and access to dental care is limited. Through their clinic in Kabul, the ADRP offers a range of dental services, trains practitioners, and implements outreach programs to improve oral health in underserved communities.
With a focus on recruiting women in the dental profession, the ADRP strives to empower and educate Afghan women about the importance of oral healthcare. In addition to providing free dental services, the organization offers dental assisting, dental hygiene, and dental technician training programs at no cost. Despite facing challenges such as limited funding and the strict enforcement of Islamic modesty concerns by the Taliban, the ADRP remains committed to its mission of improving the oral health and overall well-being of the Afghan people.
