  • We will educate the young people through life skills sessions and engage them in arts and sports to keep them busy from drugs and other risky behaviors.

  • We want to use arts and sports to create awareness on alcohol harm, creation of awareness in the community through procession and hosting events, offering group and individual counselling to the youth affected by alcohol and other drugs, sensitization.

  • We will work together with the local leaders on alcohol related issues and offer family therapy to parents or children who are using alcohol.

How will the Team measure its actions, impact, and reach?

We will look at the:

  • Number of people who have stopped or reduced using drugs and alcohol.

  • Number of youth who have undergone through life skills.

  • How many Blue Cross Clubs have been formed.

  • How many people are attending our awareness events.

  • Number of local leaders enforcing alcohol regulations and laws.
