Beyond vision: How DJ Black Coffee’s expanded health initiative is transforming smiles at SA schools

DJ Black Coffee Foundation has expanded its 'Gift of Sight' initiative to include dental care, aiming to address preventable health issues affecting students' learning and well-being. The program, which previously focused on eye screenings, now offers combined vision and oral health assessments at schools like Zenzeleni Primary School in Alexandra. Partners such as Tania Noach Optometrists, the South African Optometric Association, and Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital support the initiative, with additional contributions from Diamonds Do Good and Fourways Dental Studio. The foundation emphasizes a holistic approach to children's health, linking improved healthcare access to better academic performance and personal development. This expansion follows other community efforts by the foundation, including housing support for flood victims and the development of a music academy.
