#STOPKUSH Project
The #STOPKUSH Project responds to the sharp rise of substance use disorder in Sierra Leone, driven by Kush, a dangerous narcotic now widespread in Freetown. The drug has hit young people hardest, bringing health complications, social breakdown, and rising crime in its wake.
Through school education programmes, community workshops, interactive sessions, and outreach, SRHIN gives young people the knowledge and skills to resist substance use, and builds community support networks that keep dialogue and resources open for those affected.
By pairing education with community engagement, the project is working towards a safer, healthier environment for the youth of Freetown and a break in the cycle of addiction.
