Stop Drugs/Substance Abuse Campaign (SDAC), An Initiative of Kator Hule Enterprises

One of the biggest and indeed disturbing challenges facing the world, particularly Africa is substance abuse by young people.We came up with Stop Drugs/Substance Abuse as a friendly approach to reduce the menace.
The Stop Drugs Campaign is an effort to cut down the raising culture of teenagers and youths involvement in substance abuse by providing them with skills and entrepreneurial trainings, enabling them become economically productive. Through the SDC programme, they are attached as interns with existing businesses where they receive up to three months of business training/mentoring. It says an idle mind is the devil's workshop. It is our belief that for many teenagers and youths taking illicit substances, if gainfully engaged they will stay safe. Below are pictures of an SDC session with Pastor Abel Uloko, the Head Pastor of House On The Rock Makurdi, Rev'd Fr. Solomon Ukeyima, the Parish Priest of St. Augustine Parish Demekpe, Dr. Chisa Ugoajah (of the Federal Medical Centre Makurdi), Ati Kenneth, the representative of Commander of the Benue State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and volunteer entrepreneurs on the SDC programme. After the participants are trained and rehabilitated, they are empowered with business tools.
This is a snapshot on how we are using love as a tool to reclaim those going the substance abuse way here in Nigeria. Do you have a story on substance addiction you would like to share? What is the situation of substance abuse like in your country? Leave a comment.
