Empower the Community and Environmental Conservation Organization E.C.E.C.O is Non – Governmental organization established in 2011 and get full registration in 2014 with registration number 00007207. (REPRO gtz.

1: ORGANIZATION PROFILE
E.C.E.C.O is non-government and non - profit organization dedicated to transform Tanzanians’ communities from chronic poverty to hopeful standard of life. People in Tanzania, especially in rural areas are very poor; their income is very low and live almost below the poverty line. This organization intends to secure people, train them so as to gain basic skills for economic

development, improve their daily life, and by using existing resources to enhance their standard of living. Under these economic and social constrains, with vast potential resources, the organization has decided, through various activities to establish its legitimate instrument which will be in the forefront in the management of economic development and hence poverty alleviation among the Tanzania residents.

2: Organization’s Activities. (Cross cutting issues).
2.1: HIV/AIDS. Current researches shows that in Tanzania Mainland, HIV prevalence among women and men aged 15 – 49 has decreased from 7.0% in 2003 – 2004 to 5.0% in 2011 – 2012. Still there are great challenges in our communities which shaping the epidemic/ spread of the disease. According to the Tanzania Commission for Aids, the following are drivers which resulting to the spread of diseases especially to the young generation.

2.2: Trafficking in Person. Tanzania is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labour and sex trafficking. The incidence of internal trafficking is higher than that of transnational trafficking and is usually facilitated by family members, friends, or intermediaries of victims who offer assistance with education or finding lucrative employment in urban areas. Some unscrupulous individuals manipulate the traditional practice of child fostering – in which poor children are entrusted into the care of wealthier relatives or respected members of the community – to subject children to forced labour. (2014 Trafficking in Person Report – Tanzania). The current situation shows that, many children were and are still abandoned from their families or bosses and family friends were they are working and subjected to the harsh living environment without care and no were to go. These children are forced to enter into sex trafficking, drug abuse and other illegal actions so as to get money for their surviving. They are lacking education and proper health services resulting to the unplanned pregnancies and HIV/AIDS. Under this situation, there must be great intervention for the Government, NGO’s and other development partners to ensure proper education provided and communities in rural areas are empowered so as to improve their life and discouraging trafficking of children to find good life in town centres.

2.3: Drug Abuse. Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E)
Drug abuse has become a national concern in Tanzania. Newspaper reports indicate drug abuse among youths. It is feared that in some primary and secondary schools in the country, up to 5% of the youth are said to have used bhang. Also, problems like the use of hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin are increasingly surfacing among youths. There are several cases associated with drug trafficking which may imply drug abuse. (UTAFITI (New Series) Vol. 3 No.1, 1996: 111-128)
Recent studies in Tanzania show that a large percentage of adolescents have had experiences with drugs or substances like tobacco and alcohol at a low age. At the same time they lack basic knowledge about the effects and dangers of its consumption. This ignorance often puts them at risk. Health problems, diseases, including HIV/AIDS and social problems are a real threat to uninformed youth. Vol. 7)
Drug abuse, especially use of heroin, is a fairly recent phenomenon in Tanzania and so the role of illicit drug injection in the HIV epidemic in Africa has received minimal attention. In recent years both local and international young adults have been involved with the increased importation of illicit drugs into the country. Although there are no official statistics on drug abuse in the country, it is estimated that the city of Dar es Salaam, which has a population of 2.5 million, has 200,000 to 250,000 drug abusers. (African Journal of Drug & Alcohol Studies, 5(2); 2006)
The organization is coming up with the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E) so as to minimize the effects of drug consumption to teenagers who are in schools and out of schools. Many young people are using drugs due to family background, peer pressure, working in complex conditions like construction activities with low wages and they want to fit in.

2.4: Gender – based- violence (GBV)
Gender-based violence (GBV) is a grave reality in the lives of many women in Tanzania. It results from gender norms and social and economic inequities that give privilege to men over women. There is a mounting recognition in Tanzania of gender discrimination and gender equity in different facets of life. This awakening includes a growing acknowledgement of how prevalent gender-based violence is and the ways and extent to which it harms not only women and girls but also men and boys and, furthermore, the country’s developing economy and health and social welfare systems (gender-based violence in Tanzania: an assessment of policies, services, and promising interventions). About 500 women were trained from 2011 to 2014 at Mkinga District; Tanga Region on Gender – based – Violence/ the right of women in social economic areas. The organization will reach about 10,000 women in 2015 -2016.

2.5: Women social, political and economic empowerment. Empowerment refers to increasing the spiritual, political, social or economic strength of individuals and communities. It often involves the empowered developing confidence in their capacities. The organization putting efforts to improve the following capabilities
- decision-making power of their own
- access to information and resources for taking proper decision
- Ability to exercise assertiveness in collective decision making
- positive thinking on the ability to make change
- To learn skills for improving one's personal or group power.

2.6: Poverty alleviation. Education (and Training) for Rural People:
Education (and training) for Rural People is a people-centred approach that bridges the efforts of the agriculture and education sectors in bringing about transformation of rural communities by developing the capacity of rural people to feed themselves, to overcome poverty, hunger and illiteracy, and to enjoy long, healthy and creative lives (UNDP, 1999). The essential assets enabling rural households to escape poverty are education, labour, land, livestock and infrastructure (FAO, 2007b), and Education for Rural People is one of the most powerful interventions to overcome hunger (Burchi and De Muro, 2007). The organization applying the following strategies to fight against poverty to the rural communities in Tanzania (especially women):-
Improving access to education and training: promoting education and training fee removal, free access to learning materials, school feeding programmes to improve attendance, expansion of the school network and training centre construction, adult education, application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), design of training materials to address rural life problems, farmer participation in planning and training events and education that is relevant to rural livelihoods and the community. Intensification of Agricultural education: improved training of trainers for agricultural education, agricultural education that reflects the fact that both on-farm and off-farm competencies and skills are important to sustaining livelihoods of people in rural areas and agricultural education that reflects changes in technology, global supply chains, market and health challenges, on-farm and off-farm employment, environmental changes, and enterprise development
Skills training for rural people: increased and improved formal and non-formal skills training for youth and adults, training for school drop-outs, diversifying competencies and skills to reduce vulnerability, providing literacy and numeracy training together with skills training and training in both life skills and job skills.

2.7: Environmental conservation. Sensitizing the community about Land and Forest Management (CLFM) by using Tanzania Environmental Management Act 2004, Tanzania Environmental Management Policy, Tanzania Forest Policy 2002 and Tanzania Forest Act
Focus Area (s): Awareness creation, workshops, community empowerment and development and training. Project Methodology. The organization applying the following methodologies:-
Training through seminars and workshops

[4/23, 09:55] Ndosho: JINSI YAKUJITOA KWENYE UTUMIZI WA SIGARA NA DAWA ZA KULEVYA
Iwe ni mvutaji mchanga au mbutaji mahiri au mtumiaji mchanga au mtumiaji mzoefu, kutoka katika utumiaji huo kunaweza kuwa kugumu lakini jinsi utakavyo kuwa unajifunza njia mbalimbali za kuacha, ndio urahisi utakavyo patikana. Ukiwa na nia na mipango madhubuti unaweza kuvunja minyororo ya matumizi ya dawa za kulevya, kuweza kuhimili kiu ya matumizi na kuungana na mamilioni ya watu walio amua kuachana na matumizi hayo kwa manufaa yao.
KWANINI KUACHA UTUMIAJI WA DAWA ZA KULEVYA KUNAONEKANA KUGUMU.
Matumizi ya dawa za kulevya haiathiri maumbile ya mwanadamu tu bali huathiri mwenendo wa akili pia. Chemikali zilizopo kwenye dawa za kulevya humfanya mtu kujihisi yupo vizuri sana. Kutokana na kemikali kukufanya ujisikie vizuri kunakoakisiwa na ubongo, hali hiyo inakufanya uwe mtumiaji wa dawa za kulevya ili kuondokana na msongo wa mawazo, upweke na kuzubaa.
Muda huohuo kitendo cha utumiaji wa dawa hizo huchukuliwa k**a ni kitendo cha kawaida chakila siku ambacho huwezi kukiacha, k**a vile kuvuta sigara asubuhi baada ya kifungua kinywa, unapoenda mapumziko kazini au shuleni au unapokuwa nyumbani baada ya muda wa kazi au masomo.Ili kufanikiwa kujitoa katika utumiaji, unatakiwa kujiepusha na tabia za utumiaji na mienendo inayokuweka karibu na utumizi na watumizi wa dawa za kulevya.
[4/23, 09:59] Ndosho: MPANGO BINAFSI WAKUACHA UTUMIAJI WA DAWA ZA KULEVYA.
Wakati baadhi ya watumiaji wamefanikiwa kujitoa katika utumiaji, watu wengi wanaendelea na jitihada katika kujitoa na utumiaji kwa kuwa na mipango yao wenyewe. Mpango mzuri wakuacha utumiaji wa dawa za kulevya hujumuisha changamoto za muda mfupi na muda mrefu katika uachaji huo. Uachaji unatakiwa uambatane na mahitaji yako muhimu na maalumu ya tabia za utumiaji wa dawa za kulevya.
MASWALI YAKUJIULIZA WEWE BINAFSI!
Chukua muda kujiuliza wewe ni mtumiaji wa namna gani? Ni kwa kipindi gani utahitaji kuvuta au kutumia dawa za kulevya? Na kwanini?. Hii itakusaidia kuweza kupata njia rahisi ya kuacha utumiaji katika njia iliyo salama.
Je wewe ni mvutaji mzoefu? Ni kiasi gani unaweza kuvuta kwa siku?
Je ? Unatumia dawa za kulevya unapokuwa na mawazo au unapokuwa unahisi unyonge?
Je? Kuna shughuli sehemu au watu unaoshirikiana nao katika utumiaji?
Je? Wewe ni mtu ambaye upo wazi kuongea na wataalamu na washauri juu ya utumizi wako wa dawa zakulevya?
Je? Upo tayari kuingia katika mpango maalumu wa kuacha dawa za kulevya?
[4/23, 10:02] Ndosho: ANDAA MPANGO WA KUACHA DAWA ZA KULEVYA (JITAKASE)
Jipangie tarehe ya kuacha utumiaji.
Ndani ya wiki mbili baada ya kupata mafunzo haya, utakuwa ni muda mzuri wa kujiandaa na zoezi la kuacha matumizi ya dawa za kulevya bila ya kupoteza azma yako ya kuacha. K**a unavuta siku za kazi, acha kuvuta, hivyo utakuwa na muda muafaka wakufanya mabadiliko ya kuacha siku zinavyoendelea.
Taarifu familia, marafiki na wafanyakazi wenzako juu ya mpango wa kuacha
Wajulishe marafiki na familia yako kuwa una mpango wa kuacha matumizi ya dawa za kulevya na waeleze kuwa unahitaji msaada wao na kukutia moyo katika uachaji huo. Tafuta mkaribu wako anayetaka kuacha k**a wewe nanaweza kusaidiana katika hali hiyo ya uachaji.
Kabiliana na changamoto utakazo kutana nazo kipindi cha uachaji.
Watu wengi wanao amua kurudia utumiaji wa dawa zakulevya, mara nyingi hufanya hivyo ndani ya miezi 3 tangu waanze zoezi la uachaji wa matumizi ya dawa zakulevya. Unahitajika kupambana na hali ya kutamani kutumia dawa za kulevya kikamilifu bila kukata tamaa.

Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program

KARIBU TUSHIRIKIANE KATIKA PROGRAM YAKUTOA ELIMU DHIDI YA DAWA ZA KULEVYA

13 - 18 FEBRUARY 2017.

Hii ni wiki yakukumbushana juu ya athari za dawa za kulevya kwa vijana na wazee. Kwa kushirikiana na asasi ya Foundation for Drug Free World ya nchini Marekani, tunakusudia kutoa ukumbusho juu ya athari za dawa za kulevya Tanzania. Mradi huu unakusidiwa kufikia Mikoa miwili, Dar es Salaam na Tanga.

Utafiti uliofanywa na tume yakudhibiti dawa za kulevya Tanzania kuanzia 2011 - 2013 unaonyesha kuwa aslimia 5 - 12 ya vijana/wanafunzi wanatumia dawa za kulevya, hii inaweza kuchangia pia uzoroteshaji wa elimu katika mikoa yenye viwango vikubwa vya matumizi ya dawa za kulevya k**a vile Dar es Salaam na Tanga.

Inakadiriwa kuwa watu 500,000 - 600,000 wanatumia dawa za kulevya nchini Tanzania hali inayopelekea kuongezeka kwa umasikini wa kipato na afya mbovu kwa vijana wengi.

Ni jukumu na kila mmoja kuchukua nafasi hii kuwakumbusha ndugu, jamaa na marafiki jui ya athari za dawa za kulevya.

Wanaotaka kushiriki nasi tunawakaribisha sana. Vikundi k**a vya jogging na vikundi vingine vinakaribishwa sana kushiriki nasi

VIJANA NA UTUMIAJI WA DAWA ZA KULEVYA.

Tafiti nyingi zinaomyesha kwamba, vijana wengi wameanza kutumia dawa za kulevya wakiwa na umri mdogo, na wengi wakiwa mashuleni au mitaani.

Zoezi la kuanza utumiaji qa dawa za kulevya au vileo k**a vile bangi, co***ne na pombe, huanza k**a masikhara au utani tu tena wakati mwingine bila kutumia nguvu kubwa ya ushawishi. Kwakule kuwa mnasoma pamoja, mnakula pamoja na matembezi yenu mnaluwa pamoja inakuwa sababu ya kushawishi au kushawishika kuingia katika utumiaji wa dawa za kulevya.

Kitu ambacho vijana wengi wanaotumia dawa za kulevya wanakiogopa ni picha yao katika jamii itaonekana vipi, hili hujitokeza hasa kwa wale wanaoanza kutumia, hali hii hupelekea kuwa na usiri mkubwa sana na huchukuwa muda kujua kuwa sasa nduguyo au mwanao anatumia labda kutokana na mabadiliko ya kimwili, kiafya na kimienendo.

Ni mara chache sana kuona vinaja hawa wanafikiria afya zao, wao qanafikiria hivi hapa baba akiniona itakuwaje?, askari akinik**ata itakuwaje?, mwalimu akijua hii soo itakuwa hapakaliki kabisa, hawadikirii hivi nikipata kqnsa ya koo itakuwaje, nikipata homa ya manjano itakuwaje, matatizo ya ini na vvu maisha yangu yatakiwaje? Ni upi mustakbali wa maisha yangu ya sasa na baadae?

Hivyo tunalojukumu kila mmoja wetu kuhakikisha kuwa tuwatoa elimu kwa ndugu zetu, jamaa na rafiki zetu, majirani zetu na kwa kila mmoja kwa nafasi yake juu ya athari za utumiaji wa dawa za kulevya.

Ni ELIMU ndio itakayo wakomboa vijana wenzetu... Jitakase Anza Sasa

Demand Reduction or Supply Reduction - or Both?

Katika vita ya kupambana na dawa za kulevya kuna njia maarufu mbili zinazotumiwa na watu mbalimbali pamoja na taasisi mbalimbali za serikali na zisizo zakiserikali, njia hizo huitwa Kupunguza Uhitaji (Demand Reduction) na Kupunguza Upatikanaji/Usambazaji (Supply Reduction).

KUPUNGUZA UHITAJI (DEMAND REDUCTION)
Njia hii mara nyingi hututmiwa na vyombo visivyo na mamlaka yakuk**ata na kufikisha mahak**ani washukiwa wa usambazaji na utumiaji wa dawa za kulevya. Njia kuu inayotumika katika kupunguza uhitaji wa dawa za kulevya ni ushawishi kwa watumiaji na wasiotumia dawa za kulevya kuacha au kutotumia dawa hizo.

Elimu hutolewa mara nyingi katika njia za kupunguza uhitaji wa utumiaji wa dawa za kulevya. Hapa watu wanakuwa na nafasi yakubadilisha tabia zao pamoja na mienendo yao ili kuona kua hakuna umuhimu wa kutumia dawa za kulevya na athari zake ni kubwa sana kwa afya za watumiaji, kwa familia zao pamoja na na mustakbali wa Taifa.
Kwa hapa kwetu Tanzania ni vijana wengi sana wametumbukia katika matumizi ya dawa za kulevya bila kujua na kutambua kwanini wameingia katika hali hiyo, wengine wamekuwa wakidhani kuwa wanaweza kupunguza au kutatua kabisa amatatizo mbalimbali yanayowakabili kwa kutumia dawa za kulevya na kinyume chake wanaongeza matatizo badala yakuyapunguza.

Njia hii ya kupunguza uhitaji na tamaa ya kutumia dawa za kulevya ndio njia ambayo hivi karibuni imekuwa ikitegemewa sana na nchi nyingi duniani, hasa zilizoendelea kwa kuanzisha programu mbalimbali za kutoa elimu kwa vijana wao mashuleni, kwenye nyumba za ibada na kupitia mitandao ya kijamii pamoja na shughuli zinazowashirikisha wazazi na walezi ili kuweza kuhakikisha kua makuzi ya watoto na vijana wao yanadhibitiwa ili wasijiingize kwenye dawa za kulevya kwa kufahamu madhara yake na si kuwasubiri waingie na kuwak**ata kwa vyombo vya dola.

KUPUNGUZA UPATIKANAJI/USAMBAZAJI (SUPPLY REDUCTION)
Njia hii mara nyingi inatumiwa na vyombo vya dola na usalama katika kudhibiti upatikanaji wa dawa za kulevya kutoka katika maeneo mbalimbali ya dunia.

Hapa kwetu Tanzania, TUME YA KUDHIBITI DAWA ZA KULEVYA pamoja na KITENGO CHAKUPAMBANA NA DAWA ZA KULEVYA CHINI YA POLISI ni baadhi ya vyombo vilivyo vilivyoanzishwa kupambana na dawa za kulevya nchini. Mara nyingi tumesikia washtumiwa wa kuasafirishwa dawa za kulevya wamek**atwa na kufikishwa mahak**ani lakini mwisho wa kesi zao umekuwa na changamoto kubwa kutokana na sababu mbalimbali.

Katika njia hii kuna changamoto kubwa zakimtandao wa wauzaji na wasambazaji wa dawa hizo kuwa ni watu wenyefedha nyingi hivyo kuweza kuwarubuni kiurahisi maafisa, changamoto za bajeti ya kuwekeza katika mafunzo na vitendea kazi pamoja na changamoto zakimazingira kwani kudhibiti uingizwaji wa dawa za kulevya unahitaji ushirikiano wa karibu na nchi jirani kuhakikisha kuwa hakuna mwanya wakupitisha dawa za kulevya.

USHAURI:
Ili kuhakikisha kuwa vita hii inapata matunda mazuri hakuna budi kuhakikisha kuwa njia zote mbili, yaani DEMAND REDUCTION na SUPPLY REDUCTION zinapewa mkazo sawa katika kuhakikisha tunadhibiti upatikanaji na tunabadilisha mitazamo ya jamii yetu juu ya matumizi ya dawa za kulevya.

Ni wakati sasa serikali na watu mbalimbali kuziunga mkono asasi zinazotoa elimu kwa vijana wetu ili ziwafikie vijana wengi zaidi na kuhakikisha kuwa kunakuwa na program endelevu zakuwakumbusha vijana wajibu wao kwa jamii na taifa lao.

KILA MMOJA ANAWAJIBU WAKUHAKIKISHA KUWA ANAJITAHIDI KATIKA KUHAKIKISHA WATU WANAOKUZUNGUKA WANAELEWA MADHARA YA DAWA ZA KULEVYA!

WATUMIE NA WENGINE UJUMBE HUU!!!

KAMPENI YA KUPAMBANA NA DAWA ZA KULEVYA MASHULENI,

Ni dhahiri kuwa ndugu zetu wanataabika sana na matumizi ya dawa za kulevya, hasa wanafunzi, wengi wanadanganyika na kuingia katika matumizi ya dawa za kulevya bila kutarajia. Wanazitesa familia zao na kutaabisha ndugu zao.

Tushik**ane kukiokoa kizazi hiki kwa pamoja, share na mwingine!!

JE? UNASHIRIKIJE KATIKA VITA DHIDI YA DAWA ZA KULEVYA???

26 June Kila mwaka ni siku ya dawa za kulevya duniani. Ni vijana wengi sana wameathirika na dawa za kulevya hasa katika nchi zinazoendelea ikiwemo Tanzania. Inakadiriwa kuwa ni vijana takirbani laki 5 (500,000) wamejiingiza katika utumizi wa dawa za kulevya Tanzania. Na kila siku wapo vijana wanaoingia katika utumiaji wa dawa za kulevya iwe bangi, co**in, he**in hata ulevi. Athari za utumiaji wa dawa za kulevya bila shaka zimeigusa kila familia kwa sasa, k**a sio mdogo wako atakuwa kaka yako, dada yako, mjomba shangazi, binamu au hata rafiki wa karibu anatumia dawa za kulevya. Hivyo basi yatupasa kila mmoja wetu kuchukua juhudi zakuelimisha kila aliyekaribu nae kuhusu athari za dawa za kulevya katika jamii yetu na mustakbali wa taifa letu kwa ujumla.

Katika kutumia dawa za kulevya tunaweza kuwagawa watu katika makundi manne (4)
1. Addicted: hawa ni watu ambao wametumia dawa za kulevya kwa kiasi kikubwa na kwa muda mrefu hali iliyopelekea maisha yao na uhai wao kutegemea matumizi ya dawa za kulevya kila siku. Watu wa namna hii hawamudu hata kunyanyua mguu au hata kope za macho yao wanapokosa dawa hizo, ili damu yake ianze kazi na mwili upate nguvu atalazimika kutumia dawa za kulevya japo kwa kiasi kidogo. Ikifikia hali hi ni hasara kubwa kwa jamii na taifa kwani, watu wa namna hii watafanya kila njia watakayoweza ili wapate pesa za kununulia dawa hizo.

Mtu anapofikia hatua hiyo hawezi kuacha dawa za kulevya kwa kutaka kwake mwenyewe tu bali kwa matibabu maalumu na kuwa chini ya uangalizi mkubwa sana. Tunao ndugu zetu na amaa zetu waliofikia kiwango hiki cha utumiaji wa dawa za kulevya, ni jukumu letu kuhakikisha kuwa tunawasaidia kuokoa maisha yao kwani tukiwaachia wao wenyewe tutawakosa kabisa.

2. Ambao hawajaathirika sana (Normal users) Hawa ni watumiaji wa dawa za kulevya wa kawaida. Mtu wa namna hii hajaathirika sana na dawa za kulevya kiasi chakumfanya ashndwe kufanya shughuli zake. Ni mtu ambaye dawaza kulevya hazija muathiri sana. Mtu wa namna hii ni rahisi kuacha bila ya athari kubwa za kiafya au kwa matibabu madogo na anarudi katika hali yake ya kawaida muda mfupi sana.

Takwimu zinaonyesha kuwa vijana wengi wapo katika kundi hili na wanakaribia kuhama kwenda kundi la kwanza endapo juhudi za makusudi za kuwaokoa vijana hawa hazitachukulia. Tujitahidi kuhakikisha kuwa ndugu zetu hawa tunawanasihi bila kuchoka ili waache utumiaji wa dawa za kulevya kwani hauna faida kwao wala kwa familia zao, kwa jamii na kwa taifa kwa ujumla.

3. Walio njia panda - wanaoshawishiwa kutumia au hata walio onja. Hili ni kundi la vijana au watu ambao hawajafikia uamuzi wa kutumia dawa za kulevya lakini wapo katika msukumo mkubwa sana kutoka kwa marafiki na watu wa karibu wanaotumia dawa za kulevya, kuwataka watumie tu kwani hazina athari yoyote na ndio ujana bwana.

Kwa haraka haraka watu hawa wanakuwa katika mawazo makubwa na hawajui lakufanya, waingie katika utumiaji wa dawa za kulevya au wasitumie. Endapo tutawaacha hawa ile nguvu ya wanawashawishi ikiwa kubwa, hawa wataangukia katika matumizi ya dawa za kulevya k**a wengnine walivyoingia huko. Hatuna budi kuwashawishi na kuwaonyesha mifano ya dhahiri ya waliotumia dawa hizo na kuangamiza maisha yao na hawakupata chochote.

Elimu ndio nguzo pekee itakayowaokoa watu hawa na ndugu zetu hawa wasiingie katika kundi la watumiaji wa dawa za kulevya. Je UPO TAYARI KUWASIAIDIA NDUGU ZAKO KWA KUWAFIKISHIA ELIMU HII??? NI JUKUMU LAKO ....... ANZA SASA.

4.Wasiotumia kabisa. wapo vijana wengi sana ambao katika maisha yao hawafikirii kabisa kutumia dawa za kulevya pengine kwa kujua athari zake kwao na kwa maisha yao au kwa kuwa hawapebdi tu kujiingiza katika mambo hayo. Hili kundi lazima lilindwe kwa nguvu zote, wasifikirie kabisa na uwamuzi wao ndio uamuzi sahihi unaotakiwa kuigwa na kila mtu. Tywapongeze kwa uamuzi wao na tuwaombe basi wawasiaidie vijana wenzao waliokwisha mezwa na dudu hili waachane na matumizi ya dawa za kulevya.... hakuna mwishp mwema kwa mtumiaji.
