Our Story

Smileawi was set up in October 2012 after Nigel and Vicky Milne, two dentists from Dunoon on the west coast of Scotland, travelled to Malawi to assess the dental services available in northern Malawi.

What we do ?

Smileawi was set up to try and improve the dental services in the areas of northern Malawi. Our aim is to provide basic and safe dentistry to a population which otherwise has a very limited access to dental services.
