Help Ahmad Umar become a dentist again in the UK

Ahmad Umar was a dentist in his home country and came to the UK to continue his dentistry work.

Unfortunately, to be able to practise in England, he needs to study and sit an exam which costs around £8,000, despite already being a qualified dentist.

Currently, he works in a restaurant in Birmingham and is struggling to make ends meet for his family and find a way back into dentistry, his actual field of work.

He had his own dental practice for five years in his home country of Afgh@nist@n but now wants to be of service in the UK, where he lives and works.

He intends to practise as a dentist in the UK and assist the national shortage of dentists, medics and NHS workers.

We're fundraising to help Ahmed - with his permission - to raise what's needed to get him back into the work he has studied and worked so hard for.

The main exam he is fundraising for costs £5,000 but the total amount including all relevant tests and exams will be at least £8,000.

Thank you all for your support!
