Waja ka Meno Dental Health Awareness Day

The Waja Ka Meno Trust is an inspiring programme that was founded by one of our tenants, Dr Soukhat Waja, a local dentist and philanthropist. The trust was founded with the aim of providing free maxillofacial surgery, reconstructive dental surgery and general dental care to disabled and vulnerable children.

Southgate Mall is honoured to be involved with this organisation and in support of the annual dental health awareness day, we secured sponsorship for emergency medical services from Maponya 911. Marjorie Thekiso- Marketing Manager at Maponya 911 explains why they decided to get involved: “We believe that we need to give back to the community. This can be achieved by providing support to community-based projects such as the Waja ka Meno Day as projects like these enable us to create awareness for our service offering. We are with the community all the time however, people tend to think that we are not accessible as we are a private organisation. It is our aim to show that we are one with the community.”

The annual Dental Health Day continues to grow each year, Southgate Mall is proud to be part of the programme and would like to thank Dr Waja for his immense contribution to the community through the outreach programme, and its impact in the lives of those they serve.
