The Foundation for a Drug-Free World is a nonprofit public benefit corporation that empowers youth and adults with factual information about drugs so they can make informed decisions and live drug-free. No one, especially a young person, likes to be lectured about what he or she can or cannot do. Thus, we provide the facts that empower youth to choose not to take drugs in the first place.
The Truth About Drugs campaign consists of activities that people can join which popularize drug-free living. These activities are simple, effective and can involve people of all ages. Through a worldwide network of volunteers and working with more than 800 police, government, and community partners and alliances, 62 million educational booklets have been distributed, tens of thousands of drug awareness events have been held, and public service announcements have reached more than 260 million viewers in 123 countries. These materials and activities have helped people around the world learn about the destructive side effects of drugs and thereby make the decision for themselves to not use them. The Foundation provides information you need to start a Truth About Drugs education and prevention activity in your area.
The Foundation for a Drug Free World of The Americas was founded in 2006.

EDUCATORS: What can you possibly say to your students about drug abuse that they haven’t already heard a thousand times?
As an educator you want to help youth stay clear of drugs and you know you need to reach them before the dealers do. While time and resources for effective drug education are sometimes lacking, and the materials used are often outdated, not to mention that they don’t speak factually to kids, we can help.
“I loved the program and how everything was well organized. The lessons were well planned and there were a variety of resources that could be used with each lesson. The booklets were extremely well done!! …They [students] were blown away with the stories that addicts shared in the booklets. It gave them a good picture of the actual consequences of drug use. Some of them were able to open up about their parents’ drug use. I am amazed that there is such a program out there that is FREE and so informative. It’s all there!!!”
LM, Health Teacher, New York
“I did use the material received and made the students aware of the effects of drugs, even giving them your website for further reference. The program is very effective. In fact after the session two boys asked for further help and were referred to a local agency who works with youths taking drugs. It did affect their knowledge. They became more aware of the side effects.
“Hopefully, more students will try to channel their behavior and avoid risks. Comments from some of the students were ‘I will never touch drugs!’ ‘I’ll tell my friends about this!’ ‘Experimentation is part of youth, but one can experiment with sports instead.’”
CA, Teacher, Malta
“I like that [the drug education program] has both the video component and the booklets. It gave my kids real information and they were surprised what they didn’t know as they read them. My students thought they knew all about drugs, but LSD was new to a lot of them. They thought drugs only had short-term effects unless you got addicted and took a lot. They were surprised to learn that just one use could ruin the rest of your life.”
