In an effort to promote oral health among children, Colgate has donated 6,000 oral hygiene kits to rural schools served by Good Neighbors International in Carazo. This generous contribution aims to improve oral hygiene practices and, consequently, the general health of children in this department.

The delivery event took place at the Hermanos de Finlandia School in Santa Teresa, where Mario Méndez, Colgate’s representative, had the opportunity to actively participate. During his visit, Méndez not only handed out the kits, but also took the time to talk to the students. She explained to them the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene and how the correct use of the products they received can prevent common dental diseases.

The collaboration between Colgate and Good Neighbors International is an inspiring example of how partnerships between the private sector and non-profit organizations can have a positive impact on vulnerable communities. Thanks to these kits, the children of Carazo now have access to adequate information and essential products to take care of their oral health, which is fundamental for their integral development and well-being, says Yeril Saravia, operations manager of Good Neighbors International.

This initiative not only provides the necessary resources, but also educates and raises awareness among children about the importance of good oral hygiene from an early age. Colgate reaffirms its commitment to the health and well-being of communities. The impact of this donation will be significant and lasting, contributing to the formation of healthy habits that will accompany these children throughout their lives.

Thank you, Colgate, for making a difference in Carazo!
