FORUT is the development agency of the German IOGT movement. Since its inception in 1987, FORUT works to address alcohol and other drugs as obstacles to development in Low- and Middle Income Countries, particularly in West Africa.
FORUT works to support addiction treatment and recovery programs as well as prevention interventions. Moreover, FORUT works to increase access of children to primary education, running and building schools.
Through its work, FORUT addresses the negative consequences of alcohol production and use in deprived communities. To improve the conditions of life, promote Human Rights and to ensure justice in global trade for the most marginalized are the goals of FORUT’s development work.
