Goals

SAPTA Foundation seeks to eradicate addiction in Africa through support of innovative counseling and education programs. The main beneficiary of SAPTA Foundation funds is SAPTA Kenya (www.sapta.or.ke). Led by an experienced team, we are changing the way people think about the effects of drugs and alcohol in their lives and helping them say no to a life of pain, poverty and disease. SAPTA is the leading provider of addiction awareness, education, treatment and recovery services in Kenya. Since 2004 SAPTA's integrated community-level approach has helped thousands of people understand the implications of excessive drinking and drug use on their health and well-being. SAPTA's evidence-based approach has helped build awareness of the dramatic link between addiction and social problems such as disintegration of social structures, poverty and prevalence of HIV/AIDS and TB.

In the last two years over 200 people have received intensive out-patient treatment in a 60-day program, and that number is expected to more than double in 2010. Program graduates receive counseling and practical assistance throughout their recovery process, integrating with Alcoholic Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous groups.

We know how programs are working, and demand for our services has never been greater. Please join us as we bring sobriety to Africa, one person at a time.
