Empowering Youth: United Against Drug Abuse – Join Our Fight on June 26, 2024

As we approach the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking on June 26th, the Gerald AKOR Foundation is gearing up for a powerful campaign to raise awareness and drive action against drug abuse. To this end, we are calling on individuals, communities, and organizations to unite in our mission to empower youth and create a drug-free future.

 Why This Campaign Matters

Drug abuse continues to be a significant challenge, affecting millions of lives and tearing apart families and communities. Our campaign aims to highlight the devastating impact of illicit drugs and to promote practical solutions to combat this issue.

 Event Highlights

The Gerald Akor Foundation has seen remarkable results from our initiatives, which inspire this year’s event:

1. Workshops: Interactive sessions with experts discussing prevention strategies and support systems. This workshop will educate participants on the dangers of drug abuse and effective prevention methods.
2. Community Outreach: Volunteers will engage with local communities to spread awareness and provide educational resources. In Lokoja, the team will engage public secondary schools in informative and educational programs.
3. Support Services: We shall be offering on-site counselling and resources for individuals and families affected by drug abuse.
