Millennium Fellowship Project: Mental Health and Anti-Drug Abuse Advocacy Initiative
Mental Health and Anti-Drug Abuse Advocacy Initiative is a deliberate targeting project aimed at advancing the Sustainable Development Goal on Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3) and Capacity Building as one of the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) principles.
Specifically, the program is curated to de-campaign alcohol and drug use among students while creating awareness of substance use disorders (SUDs) and mental ill- health, which has led to the upsurge of suicidal and homicidal cases within the Kisii campus.
