People across the country need to work together as the battle against drugs grows stronger. Everyone must play a part in solving this widespread problem.
The upcoming "Fitness Against Drug Abuse" event aims to spread the word about how drugs harm lives. This campaign runs March 28 and 29, right in Harare. Participants can join a 3km fun run, do aerobics, watch boxing, dance Zumba, and enjoy entertainment. The program promotes healthy living without drugs through exercise. Lycan White started this project to help communities live better, drug-free lives.
We picked sports because everyone relates to them somehow, White explained. Every person worldwide connects with music and sports regardless of age, background, or culture. Sports make people feel good about themselves and more willing to talk openly. Large crowds show up for these events. We want to reach everyone—addicts, their families who suffer, and entire communities. We help people learn where to find support and beat addiction. Drug problems touch all our lives somehow. Our focus stays on the entire nation.
Since starting, this campaign has helped many put health first. The response has been amazing, White said. We worry we should do more. Many calls come from drug users and those pressured to try drugs who need escape routes. These results pushed us to expand our reach this year. Young people face the worst effects from crystal meth, broncleer, heroin, and, shockingly, used diapers. The government created strict rules against drug trafficking and formed a special committee with multiple departments to lead the fight against this growing danger.
