Break Free from Drug Addiction Foundation (BFFDAF)

Break Free from Drug Addiction Foundation (BFFDAF) is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in Ghana dedicated to preventing drug addiction, particularly among the youth. Founded with a vision to create a drug-free generation, BFFDAF adopts a comprehensive approach, focusing on prevention, rehabilitation, and the reintegration of former addicts into society. Our operations cover urban and rural communities, with a focus on areas with high unemployment and poverty rates— major contributors to drug abuse in Ghana.

WHO WE ARE

Our story

James Kwame Peprah, a passionate Mental Health Advocate, founded BFFDAF with co-founders Ismaila Tetteh, Ebenezer Appah and Samuel Armah as well as Jephthah Gyetuah Kofi, Emmanuel Amankaah, Mark Sampson Korblatsey Amegayie, Alex Biney, Rama Yalley Ashun, Nsiah Enock Jnr. & Charles Asare growing up, they witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of drug addiction, with close friends and family members falling victim to its life-shattering effects. These personal experiences deeply shaped their understanding of drug addiction as not just an individual struggle but a community issue. Forming Break Free from Drug Addiction Foundation was their bold response to this crisis, driven by a strong desire to prevent others from suffering the same fate. What started as a personal mission is now a collective call to action, uniting communities, youth, and stakeholders in the fight against drug addiction.

Our mission is to ignite hope and change in the lives of those at risk of drug addiction. We aim to prevent drug addiction through proactive education, rehabilitate those affected by offering a path to recovery, and empower former addicts by providing the means to rebuild their lives through sustainable livelihoods. We believe that by addressing the root causes of drug addiction, such as poverty and unemployment, we can inspire lasting change and break the cycle of addiction, one life at a time.
