When the US foreign aid cuts happened, our community paid the price. This report shows how.

The impact of US foreign aid cuts on the health and well-being of people who use drugs has been massive and monumental.

Take the time to read our report to understand the human cost of such detrimental policy shifts. Share it so others don’t look away.
