Founded in 1999, Light of the World Charities began as a medical missions group. Medical staff and volunteers traveled abroad to countries such as Honduras, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Tanzania to provide free services to those in need. In 2016, Little Lights Dentistry was launched to focus Light of the World Charities' mission to local children in need. Little Lights Dentistry provides free dental care to uninsured children living in poverty. Children through high school graduation can obtain preventative, restorative, and acute dental care and education at no charge to them or their families. Little Lights Dentistry serves children in Martin County and the surrounding areas and is the only free dental clinic for children in Martin County.
