Millennium Fellowship Project: Say No To Drugs
Drug use, including Kush, zombie, and cocaine, is a serious issue Liberia, a West African country, is trying to overcome. Following fourteen years of civil conflict, Liberia faces a youth drug problem, with devastating consequences for individuals and the country as a whole. This national issue requires our urgent and serious consideration. Therefore, this project aims to bridge the knowledge gap among youths in secondary school about the harmful effects of drugs have on their physical health. The “SAY NO TO DRUGS ABUSE” project aims to educate 10,000 secondary school students on the harmful effects of drug abuse on individuals and society.
