Clinic funding
We fund and equip permanent dental clinics in places that had none, run by local providers who stay long after we arrive.

Dental care,
without borders.
Medical Access Care Dental funds clinics and mobile dental teams, and connects them through one global hub, so the communities the world overlooks can receive the care they deserve.
What we do
Three ways we put care within reach
Most people we serve live where dental care is scarce, costly, or wiped out by conflict. We work on all three fronts at once.
Mobile dental teams
When a clinic is too far or no longer standing, our mobile teams bring chairs, tools, and trained hands directly to the people who need them.
Resource coordination
One hub linking donors, suppliers, and providers, so supplies, funding, and skilled volunteers land exactly where they do the most good.
Where we work
We go where care has been cut off
We focus on communities living through hardship, displacement, and conflict, with early work centred in Gaza and other Muslim-majority regions where dental care has become almost impossible to reach. Every program is built with local partners and led by the dignity of the people we serve.

Our programs
How we turn funding into care that lasts
Each program is designed to work on its own and to strengthen the others. Together they form a single path from a donation to a treated patient.
Clinic funding
We build, equip, and sustain permanent dental clinics in communities that had none. Clinics are staffed and run by local dentists, so care continues long after the build is complete. We fund the chair, the tools, the sterilisation, and the first year of operation while the clinic finds its feet.
- Equipment and fit-out
- Local staffing
- Sterilisation and safety
- First-year operating support
Mobile dental teams
For places a clinic cannot reach, or where one has been destroyed, our mobile teams carry portable chairs and tools to camps, shelters, and remote villages. They treat pain on the day, handle urgent extractions and infections, and refer complex cases into the clinic network.
- Portable equipment
- Urgent and emergency care
- Camps and shelters
- Referral into clinics
Resource coordination hub
Our hub is the connective tissue of the whole effort. It matches donated supplies and funding to the clinics and teams that need them most, schedules skilled volunteers, and keeps a clear, honest record of where every resource goes.
- Supply matching
- Volunteer scheduling
- Transparent tracking
- Partner network
Emergency response
When conflict or disaster strikes, dental needs do not wait. We move funding and mobile teams quickly to treat acute pain and infection in the hardest moments, working alongside partners already on the ground.
- Rapid funding
- Crisis deployment
- Partner coordination
How it works

The people behind MACD
Built by two people who believe care should reach everyone
MACD began as a shared conviction: that no one should live in pain for the simple lack of a dentist nearby.
Charlotte Daly
Co-founder, Director of Programs
Charlotte leads how MACD shows up on the ground, from the partners we choose to the way care is delivered with warmth and respect. She keeps the mission human in every decision.
Michael Caswell
Co-founder, Director of Operations
Michael builds the systems that let MACD reach further, the hub, the funding flow, and the infrastructure that turns generosity into treated patients without waste.
