Every child deserves the chance to grow, learn, and thrive—but for many children in South Africa, Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) stands in the way of this potential. Every year we mark International FASD Awareness Day on 9 September, and come together to raise awareness about this preventable condition caused by alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
South Africa has some of the highest rates of FASD in the world, with devastating effects on children, families, and communities. But there’s hope. By spreading the message that no amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy, we can protect future generations from its life-altering impacts.
Together, we can break the cycle and give our children the healthy, safe start they deserve.
Take action, spread the word, and hold their hands. Learn more about FASD and how you can make a difference.
