{{Project
|Description=Al-Mustafa Welfare Society aims to deliver high quality, long term care, awareness and dental treatment to underprivileged areas and non-affording populations in Pakistan. Under this project, equal or more than 20,000 patients have been treated and more than 80,000 educated under the flag of "Oral Health=Overall Health" all over PAKISTAN and Kashmir by Al-Mustafa's Dental Team. A highly sophisticated mobile dental unit makes reaching remote areas for their treatment possible.

=Challenge=
The majority of the adult population in Pakistan and more than half the child population has dental decay; over 80% of the people over 45 years of age have periodontal disease, and more than 20% of the population over 60 is edentulous (means all teeth are missing). Unfortunately, Pakistan has one of the highest rates of oral cancer globally. A significant chunk of the lower class is affected by bottlenecks as dentistry is seen as a luxury worldwide, and hence it is not accessible to most people.

=Long-Term Impact=
Al-Mustafa aspires to set up and employ pure dental Hospitals in the majority of the cities and sub-branches in rural villages, providing free/discounted and necessary dental treatments throughout. These hospitals and clinics will ensure that our hard work and passion for community work continues for a very long time.
