Increased Drug Use Among Youths in Mombasa- In the picturesque coastal city of Mombasa, drug addiction has evolved into a menacing crisis, infiltrating the lives of 70% of the youth population. School-going children have adopted cocaine, heroin, bhang, and miraa as insidious companions, posing a grave threat to their well-being and the fabric of society. Despite parents, private NGOs, and law enforcement agencies collectively battling against this epidemic, the struggle has proven to be uphill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parents, in their heartfelt attempts to rescue their children from the clutches of addiction, find their efforts largely futile. The pervasive nature of the problem transcends the domestic sphere, permeating schools and communities.

However, these initiatives have fallen short of achieving the desired outcomes, leaving a lingering sense of desperation in their wake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
