What we need to do as a community

For us to tackle these problems of Drug Abuse and Insecurity, we need to address the issue of idleness and dropping off school among our middle aged youths, most of the robberies and killings are done by young boys and girls of school going age. With these in mind, if we can put our youths in safe institutions like schools and colleges or help them engage in positive social activities like sports and arts then crime and drug abuse will be significantly reduced.

We need as a community to promote engagement in sports as an alternative to idleness, loitering in the streets, drug abuse and involvement in crime. Sports bring with it several benefits to our teenagers that include joining professional sports team, getting scholarships, physical fitness and most important positive social interaction with fellow youth practicing positive social values as stressed in sports institutions like HOPE.
