Our Mission
Project Prevention offers cash incentives to women that are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol to use long-term or permanent birth control.
Project Prevention is a national, 501 (C) 3 organization that has paid clients in 39 states and the District of Columbia.
Our mission is to reduce the number of substance exposed births to zero.
Because every baby deserves a sober start!
The Sad Reality

In 1992-93 221,000 women used illegal drugs during their pregnancy. (NIDA, 1996)
Nearly 3% of pregnant women use illicit drugs (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003)
