This year marked a defining chapter in our journey as an organization, one grounded in service, strengthening partnerships and driven by our commitment to Substance Use Disorder(SUD) Prevention and Resilience in Liberia.

We began the year with our certification program of 124 students who successfully completed our SUD prevention training at the Brain J. Knightley School system over the past six months, equipping them with knowledge, life skills, building resilience, emotional intelligence and resilience to make healthier choices.

As part of our ongoing partnerships with Government Ministries, we presented our strategic plan to Ministry of Health, Republic of Liberia Health Unit, reinforcing our role as credible stakeholder in prevention efforts, further aligning our work participated in a week long training.
Submitted our training manual to the Ministry of Education - Liberia Personnel Services and served as Stakeholder during the review and update of the School Health Manual originally developed in 2016.

Promoting a culture of giving, we joined the Liberia Giving month campaign to raise funds an initiative that was designed by SMART Liberia
Got our legal documents to operate in the education sector, became a proud member of the world Federation Against Drugs, aligned with our work and global efforts to prevent drug abuse.

We began with a needs assessment in three public schools (King Gray Public School, June L. Moore Public School and Kedneja Junior High School) which informed our next step for the project. We rebranded CDTP to Building Resilience Against Drug Abuse (BRADA) reflecting a more holistic and preventive approach, we concluded the year by training facilitators who will lead the next cohort of the program schedule for next year.

We are Grateful to our Donor Mrs. N. Wesley-Pyne whose continuous support, commitment and contributions fostered our team to work together.

Thanks to our amazing volunteers who made this year a success, we’re incredibly grateful to have you all on the Team. We look forward to a more productive year, 2026.

While we are proud of the progress made, the need remains urgent. Our work has shown that early intervention, education and resilience-building can change lives, but we cannot do this alone.
We call on donors, partners and supporters to kindly support project (BRADA) your support will enable us to expand to more schools, create healthier environment for children and youth across Liberia.
By investing in this project you are not only supporting a program, you are protecting futures and building a drug free community and country.
