Mrs. Nosipho Hashe said about the reason for the event “We would like to stop the use of drugs. This is our primary goal. In Cosmo City, many children are hooked on drugs at a young age. Some begin to take drugs as young as age eight. We must help them quit using drugs, or, ideally, prevent the addiction from ever beginning.”

As a complete set of life skills to enable youth to make changes and inspire others to change and improve the standard of living as well as productivity and employability.

We plan to hold an enormous drug awareness event every quarter to have the most visible impact on our communities. We will also visit local parks where kids are smoking substances. We aim to encourage every child and young person to stop using drugs or to not begin abusing drugs at all and to pursue their goals. We will also equip young people with the necessary skills to become entrepreneurs. This is the point where Tools for Life training comes into. We must educate children, parents, and youth on the subject of drugs and how to get off drugs to build a drug-free community.”
