The Children's International Dental Project began in 1987, after Dr. James Orban had trekked and hiked in Nepal two years earlier. The CIDP's vision is to provide dental care for poor children, street kids and orphans, in "homes", hospitals, and community centers. Adults are treated as well, but children are always our first priority.

Over the years, the Children's International Dental Project became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, branched out to other countries, and reached out to many needy children. From Nepal to India, Samoa, Argentina, Africa and Ecuador, this group of dedicated professionals has done a "world of good" for dentistry in general, and especially for their grateful patients worldwide.
