Monday, August 14, 2023 –A new rehabilitation center has been established with an aim of rescuing the boychild from the traps of substance abuse in the country.
The initiative by the second lady Pastor Dorcas Gachagua is aimed at saving the boy from drugs amid increased cases of drug addicts across the country.
Dubbed the innovation wellness and rehabilitation camp, it is specifically tailored for young men and is headquartered at the Jamhuri Showground in Nairobi County.
Many parents have, for long, lost their sons to drugs with higher rates of campus dropout being recorded annually.
Those struggling with substance and alcohol addiction will now have an easy place where they can recover and learn life skills for self- reliance.
Unveiling the programme today Monday, Pastor Dorcas emphasized the importance of fostering a sense of community and acceptance within society for these individuals, urging everyone to view them as part of the society.
It was reported that those with more severe cases of addiction had been admitted to a rehabilitation center located miles away in Limuru.
Meanwhile, individuals with less severe cases will partake in a month-long residential camp at the Jamhuri Grounds, where they will receive the necessary treatment and support.
This initiative aligns seamlessly with Pastor Dorcas’ overarching goal of rehabilitating young men who have been affected by drugs.
Media has learnt that the inaugural group of reformed young men under Pastor Dorcas Gachagua, who have been undergoing the rehabilitation program in Timau, Meru County will be graduating in weeks’ time.
Principal Secretary of Housing, Charles Hinga, who was present at Jamhuri, promised to drive the rehabilitated young men into the ongoing affordable housing programme.
Several other leaders including Nairobi County leadership were also represented in the Jamhuri event.
