Substance Use Disorder Awareness & Care Initiative

Bridge to Wholeness…

Who is SUDACare

Empowering Nigerian communities with care, knowledge, and support to overcome substance use challenges together.

Faith
Respectful

Honoring faith as a source of hope while promoting accurate, science‑informed understanding of substance use disorders.

Pathways to Care

Equipping trusted leaders to guide individuals ethically and connect them to appropriate clinical, psychological, and recovery services.

ABCD (Asset‑Based Community Development)

Building on the strengths, relationships, and leadership already present in communities, rather than imposing external solutions.

SUDA Care is a community-based organization that strengthens prevention, referral, and recovery for substance use disorders by working through Nigeria’s most trusted systems: faith–based institutions, traditional leadership, and community networks; using an asset-based, science-informed, and culturally respectful approach.
SUDACare’s Positionality

What We Do

Several individuals are engaged in a community cleanup, collecting trash from a gutter. They are dressed casually and are focused on picking up plastic bottles and litter. The setting is outdoors, with bags to collect the trash.

Community workshops that build understanding and resilience around substance use.

Providing accessible, culturally respectful training and supplies tailored to each society’s needs.

Several adults are gathered around a young girl, placing their hands gently on her shoulders in a supportive gesture. They seem to be outdoors, with trees and a small building visible in the background. The scene conveys a sense of care and community.

Partnering with communities and faith-based organizations to strengthen support and reduce stigma together.
