About Us
Community Against Alcohol/Drug Abuse & AIDS Globally (CAADAAG) is a non-profit organization established in February 2002, with the mission to combat alcoholism, drug addiction, and the spread of HIV/AIDS in Tanzania and beyond. Through education, awareness-building, prevention, and support programs, we aim to empower individuals and communities to overcome these challenges.
Our work includes providing counseling, creating support groups, and conducting outreach to raise awareness about the harmful impacts of alcohol, drug abuse, and HIV/AIDS. We are committed to helping individuals achieve mental, physical, social, and spiritual wholeness, while actively engaging with communities to reduce the prevalence of these issues and promote healthier, more resilient societies.

Our Programs
Hopeful Journeys, Real Impact
Real-life journeys of transformation, shared by those who have experienced our programs and support, illustrate the impact of our determined work.
John's battle with addiction started in his teens and spiraled out of control in his twenties. When he finally reached out to us, he felt lost and hopeless. However, with the help of our holistic care, John not only overcame his struggles but found his purpose in helping others who were facing the same battles. Now, he volunteers at our center, using his journey to inspire others to seek help.
Lena’s family had been torn apart by her struggles with substance abuse. Her parents had nearly given up hope when they found our CAADAAG program. With guidance from our counselors and support from our community, Lena made incredible progress. After a year of recovery, she was able to reunite with her family, restoring relationships that she once thought were beyond repair.
Maria came to us after years of watching her son struggle with both addiction and mental health issues. As a mother, she felt helpless as his situation worsened, and despite her best efforts, she couldn’t seem to find a way to help him. The toll it took on their family was immense, and she was overwhelmed by the fear that things would only continue to deteriorate.
