Who we aim to reach
In this area of our work, Aware.org primarily focuses on pregnant women and children living with FASD. We also engage with healthcare professionals and caregivers, partners and families of pregnant women and community members.
What we offer
Aware.org supports the work of the Foundation for Alcohol Related Research (FARR) in three provinces: Trompsburg (Free State), Graaf-Reinet (Eastern Cape) and Prince Albert (Western Cape). FARR has pioneered a successful FASD response that combines research, community awareness, preventive work with pregnant women, and education of other significant groups.

Understanding Youth & Alcohol: The Voices of Tomorrow
Commissioned by Aware.org, this national research explores how South African teens (ages 11–17) perceive alcohol harm reduction programmes and underage drinking campaigns. Conducted through over 1,100 interviews, the study offers powerful insights into youth behaviour, media influence, and the messaging that resonates most with young people. It’s a key step in shaping a safer, healthier future for the next generation.
