About American Friends of Dental Volunteers for Israel

Through fundraising and volunteer recruitment efforts in the United States, AFDVI supports the work of Dental Volunteers for Israel at the Trudi Birger Clinic, which provides free dental care and oral health education to Jerusalem’s underprivileged regardless of racial, ethnic, or religious background. Since 1980, DVI depends on the generosity of donors and volunteers from the US and around the world to continue to serve Jerusalem’s poorest children and seniors.

The Trudi Birger Dental Clinic Story

Dental Volunteers for Israel was founded in 1980 by the late Trudi Birger, a Holocaust survivor, microbiologist, and dedicated humanitarian activist.
