Yesterday, the Activista Ghana - Yendi Chapter joined Yendi Youth Parliament for an engaging radio discussion on the growing issue of harmful substance abuse in Yendi, as part of the โZero Tolerance for Harmful Substance in Yendiโ campaign. ๐๏ธ
The discussion created an important platform to examine: โ
The causes of substance abuse among youth
โ
Its effects on individuals, families, and the community
โ
The collective role of parents, institutions, leaders, and young people in addressing the issue
As young advocates, we believe that tackling substance abuse requires not only awareness, but also community action, support systems, and continuous engagement.
We appreciate YEFL-Ghana and the E4L Program Ghana for supporting youth-led advocacy and community dialogue.
Together, we can build a safer and healthier future for the youth of Yendi. ๐ช๐พ
