Access to preventive healthcare and health education plays an important role in supporting children’s wellbeing and healthy development. As part of its commitment to contributing positively to local communities, PT Nusantara Prestige Asia, a joint venture of Prestige, identified an opportunity to promote oral health awareness and improve access to basic dental care for children living in orphanages through collaboration with trusted local partners.
The initiative aimed to improve children’s oral health by providing free dental check-ups, preventive treatment, and dental hygiene education while creating an engaging and supportive environment that encouraged healthy habits. It also sought to support the participating orphanages through donations of essential supplies.
To implement the programme, PT Nusantara Prestige Asia partnered with the local NGO Kreasi Pemuda Tanpa Batas Surabaya and Yayasan Bangun Sehat Indonesiaku (YBSI). The initiative was delivered across three orphanages—Kreatif Darul Hikmah Orphanage, LKSA Emmanuel Orphanage, and Al Ibrah Orphanage—in Surabaya, Indonesia. Five volunteer dentists from YBSI provided dental hygiene education, conducted dental examinations, delivered necessary treatments, and distributed medicines. Throughout the day, children participated in educational games focused on child growth and development, received toothbrushes, toothpaste, and snack packages, while selected participants were awarded educational toys and stationery. The participating orphanages also received donations of essential food items and baby supplies contributed by PT Nusantara Prestige Asia, YBSI, and Kreasi Pemuda Tanpa Batas Surabaya.
The program reached 163 participants, including children and caregivers across the three orphanages, providing access to preventive dental care, oral health education, and essential treatments. In addition to supporting children’s health and wellbeing, the initiative supplied the orphanages with basic necessities to help meet their everyday needs. Through collaboration with local partners and healthcare volunteers, the program reinforced PT Nusantara Prestige Asia’s commitment to community wellbeing and improving access to essential health services.
