Toothbrush and Toothpaste

Would you like to help out 106 beautiful babies?

I'm traveling to Kenya next month to work on Until Then's water project, and I'd like to take enough toothbrushes and toothpaste for 106 babies that have been orphaned and/or abandoned at a children's home outside of Kitale that some friends manage. I need your help!

If you would like to donate $4 for one child to have their own toothbrush and toothpaste, please do! You can use the secure donation through PayPal to the right of this post, send me a check in the mail, or visit UntilThen.org/support. OR you can send me the toothbrush and toothpaste in the mail!

Children's oral care is so important to healthy development. Tooth decay is common in malnourished children, and common tooth related illnesses include infections and brain disease. Since adoption and child sponsorship is not realistic for all people, this is a great way to help out a needy child! All of the children at In Step Ministries where these toothbrushes/toothpaste are going are under the age of 3 years old, so lets make sure we give them fun toothbrushes and fun toothpaste (Rite Aid has a sale on children's toothbrushes right now!).

If you would like to mail a contribution, please send it to

We'll need to have all the items by Thursday, February 16th to ensure they get there!

Thank you for your continued support of Until Then and the projects we do!
