Join the fight against FASD in South Africa!
The Foundation for Alcohol Related Research (FARR) was founded in 1997 and has since been dedicated to building positive futures in South African communities by significantly reducing birth defects and mental disabilities caused by alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
FARR understands the far-reaching implications of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) and it’s impact on affected people and communities, and strives to have sustainable outcomes by:
Raising social awareness
This is achieved through the various scientifically developed Training-, Education-, Research-, Prevention-, Support- and Management Programs that FARR offers across South Africa at our fully funded projects. Our specialists are trained to diagnose FASD and offer support for these individuals and their families. This has culminated in FARR being the leading NGO source of research and information on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) in South Africa.
FARR has become a hub for experts, community members and everyday South Africans who are determined to improve the lives of those affected by FASD, their families and caregivers.
To date, FARR has completed 19 FASD Prevalence Studies and currently has 13 community project sites situated in four of the nine provinces of South Africa, with our Training Academy operating nationally. FARR has published more than 65 scientific articles in respected journals.
