Metal donation
Collection of Old Gold
Gold, silver and palladium from dental restorations can still do good even after their useful life. After removal from the mouth, metal components are melted down in a special separation process. The equivalent value of these purified precious metals is credited to Dentists for Africa without deductions and is significantly higher than is normally the case with old gold purchases. In addition to dental gold, worn-out jewellery containing precious metals can also be donated.
We use the proceeds from the donations of old metal to improve dental care for people in need in Kenya. Furthermore, part of the money is used to finance the education and vocational training of orphans, to give them a perspective in life.
Please contact us so that we can send you information material for patients, a collection box, and a waiver form for issuing a donation receipt.
