Our Work
Empowering communities, equipping caregivers and advocating for lasting change across Nigeria
Anambra Training 1
SUDACare visited St. Vincent Catholic Church in Nimo community, Anambra where we facilitated a brief substance‑use awareness and mental‑health session. With permission and support from parish and community leaders, we engaged participants on early warning signs, risks, and how to offer compassionate support.
Kaduna Training 1
In our visit to the Narayi – Bayan Dutse Community, SUDACare held its first Kaduna training at Narayi Primary School, bringing together community leaders and key stakeholders for a session on substance‑use awareness, early warning signs, and supportive responses. The training opened space for honest dialogue and strengthened community readiness to respond with compassion.
Kaduna Training 2
Following strong interest from the first session, SUDACare returned to Kaduna for a second training in the Sabon Tasha Community. Pastors and church leaders participated actively as we explored practical ways faith communities can support individuals facing substance‑use challenges.
Visit to HRH Ike Oliobi, Igwe of Nimo Autonomous Community
In February 2026, the SUDACare team and community contact Dr. John Onyiuke paid a courtesy visit to HRH Ike Oliobi, the Igwe of Nimo Autonomous Community in Njikoka LGA, Anambra State. Dr. Onyiuke introduced the team and outlined the purpose of the visit, after which SUDACare presented its mission, vision, and planned interventions for the community.
The Igwe warmly welcomed the initiative, describing it as timely and necessary given the rising concerns around substance use in Nigeria and within Nimo itself. He shared his own experiences addressing the issue, including collaborating with the NDLEA to curb drug distribution in the community. His Majesty expressed full support for SUDACare’s work and encouraged continued engagement, especially through interventions in local schools.
