Mothers for Awareness & Prevention of Drug Abuse

A nonprofit organization

$305 raised by 4 donors

Across the nation, families and communities continue to face the devastating impact of substance misuse. The rise of synthetic opioids like fentanyl has made prevention and education more critical than ever.

Mothers for Awareness and Prevention of Drug Abuse (MAPDA) is dedicated to addressing this crisis through compassion, awareness, and education. We believe prevention works, and it begins with open conversations, early education, and strong community engagement.

Our nationally recognized campaigns empower parents, schools, and local leaders to talk about substance misuse, reduce stigma, and protect youth. Through education, community programs, and partnerships with health and prevention organizations, MAPDA provides families with the tools they need to keep loved ones safe and informed.

No one chooses substance misuse. It is not a moral failing. It is a health issue that requires understanding, support, and awareness. By fostering dialogue and equipping communities with prevention strategies, MAPDA helps families protect what matters most: their children and each other.

Together, we are transforming awareness into action and heartbreak into hope. Visit www.MAPDA.ngo for more information and resources.
