Why It Matters

More than a toothbrush.

For many children in rural communities, access to basic dental hygiene supplies can be limited. Smile108 provides the essentials while encouraging simple habits children can continue every day.

Practical Care

Simple support that becomes a daily habit.

Smile108 combines essential oral hygiene supplies with practical encouragement and ongoing support.

+

Toothbrushes

Each participating child receives a toothbrush for regular daily brushing.

+

Toothpaste

Toothpaste is provided and refilled so children can continue their brushing routine.

Healthy Habits

Simple dental hygiene guidance helps children build habits they can carry forward.

Ongoing Support

Monthly refills and toothbrush replacement help make support more than a one-time visit.

The Smile108 Approach

Reach. Provide. Continue.

We don't want the first toothbrush to be the last one a child receives.

Smile108 In Action

More than a distribution.

Smile108 brings practical support directly to children while creating time for learning, play and connection with the communities we visit.

Oral hygiene Toothbrush and toothpaste support.
Creative activities Building, learning and hands-on activities.
Games and movement Time to play, move and explore.
Connection Meaningful time spent with the children.
1 YEAR of sustainable support

Build the habit, not just the moment.

Smile108 is designed around continued support rather than a one-time distribution. Regular refills and replacement toothbrushes help children keep practising good oral hygiene throughout the year.

Our Impact

Turning support into real impact.

Every toothbrush, every tube of toothpaste and every visit adds up to practical support for children in rural communities.

SMILE108 • PRACTICAL CARE

Building Better Oral Hygiene Habits for Children

Smile108 is designed to provide more than a toothbrush and toothpaste. The project helps children develop simple, healthy daily brushing habits while making essential oral hygiene supplies available to children who may not have reliable access to them.

Essential Toothbrushes

Each participating child receives a toothbrush as part of the Smile108 oral hygiene program, giving them the basic tool needed for regular daily brushing.

Toothpaste for Daily Care

Toothpaste is provided alongside the toothbrush so children have the essential supplies needed to maintain a consistent brushing routine at home.

A Habit That Lasts

Smile108 focuses on sustainable support rather than a one-time distribution, helping children continue practising good oral hygiene throughout the year.

THE SMILE108 APPROACH

Small Daily Habits Can Create a Lasting Difference

Good oral hygiene starts with simple habits repeated every day. By combining essential supplies with practical encouragement, Smile108 aims to help children make tooth brushing part of their everyday routine.

1 YEAR OF
SUSTAINABLE SUPPORT

Smile108 is about more than giving. It is about giving children the tools and opportunity to build a healthier habit that can continue long after the project visit.

Smile108 in action

See the project at work.

Smile108 brings practical support, activities and meaningful time together directly to children in rural communities across Northern Thailand.

What the visit looks like

Practical help, followed by real time together.

A Smile108 visit is designed to be useful and engaging. We bring practical supplies to support children's everyday wellbeing, then spend time with the community through activities and shared experiences.

The aim is simple: make the visit useful today while creating opportunities that children can continue to benefit from afterwards.

Oral hygiene Toothbrush and toothpaste support.
Creative play Building and hands-on activities.
Movement Games and physical activities.
Connection Time spent listening, talking and playing.
Smile108 is part of Care108 Foundation's work with children and rural communities in Northern Thailand. The project combines practical support with activities designed to encourage curiosity, confidence and positive everyday experiences.
