Mobilizing young people to combat drug abuse and create drug-free communities through education, advocacy, and peer support.
YANOSA (Youth and Adolescents Network on Substance Abuse) is our flagship program dedicated to combating drug and substance abuse among young people in Nigeria and beyond.
Through peer-to-peer education, community engagement, and advocacy campaigns, YANOSA empowers youth to become ambassadors for drug-free living in their communities.
We believe that young people are the solution, not the problem. By equipping them with knowledge, skills, and support, we create a powerful network of change agents working to prevent substance abuse.

The Drug Abuse Prevention Programme aims to significantly reduce the prevalence of drug abuse among Nigerian youth and create a healthier, more informed society.
