Retired Brighton-based dentist Dr Feroz Jafferji is appealing for any redundant/useful dental items for a project aiming to create at least two new fully-functioning dental clinics in Zanzibar, 'The Spice Island' 40 km off the coast of Tanzania.

Dr Jafferji is originally from Zanzibar and after returning to the country three years ago he linked up with former classmates and formed OZ: Outreach Zanzibar. OZ has joined forces with Health Improvement Project, Zanzibar (HIP Z), a British charity set up by medical professionals in collaboration with Zanzibar's Ministry of Health, helping to raise awareness of the lack of medical facilities and extremely low life expectancy on the island.
