Partnering with Emirates Foundation

For World Wide Smiles, is partnering with EMIRATES FOUNDATION who are helping in providing free tickets to medical professionals with valid licenses to and from Uganda. We have an arrangement with Emirates Airlines which allows for the possibility of free air travel for medical professionals. Volunteers with any medical credentials would be submitted for receiving the free tickets one month prior to departure. There is no guarantee of receiving a ticket, nor is there a guarantee that it will be available on the exact travel dates you require. All of this is totally beyond our control; thus your pursuit of this option is at your own risk. If you wish to try, we recommend that you purchase refundable tickets to secure your costs, as airfares are typically higher closer to departure.
