4-H compliments effort by Heal US Zimbabwe and supports the initiative by these 3 young people that walked from Beitbridge to Harare covering over 600 kms with the aim to protest against drug and substance abuse in Zimbabwe.
The organization has been using sport as a tool to raise awareness to school children, university students and young people in urban and rural communities. Sport has proved to be a very effective tool to attract young people to gather so that they are educated about the harmful impacts of drugs. The ability of sports to evoke emotions also makes it easier to connect with the athletes and convey the impact of drug abuse.
4-H Zimbabwe will continue to raise awareness against drug use amongst the youth through sport programs.
