Curbing drug and alcohol abuse

   Drug and alcohol abuse has for a long time destroyed the lives of many youths in my home region. Most of the youths have been involving themselves with this vice hence leading their lives miserably. It also affected the education system since students after involving themselves in drugs lost focus in studies and dropped out of schools. To save the future generation, SEMREP, a certain organisation launched an initiative to counter this. Throughout the whole region, they have been educating the youth on behavior change. They further taught them about side effects of this drugs and alcohol. This has seen many youths transforming; some have gone back to schools and hence this really encouraging.
