CHAPLAINCY
Let's fight against drug abuse
We, as the Harare Institute of Public Health, have partnered up with The Truth About Drugs,a non-profit public health corporation that empowers youth and adults with factual information about drugs so they can make
informed decisions and live drug-free.
What We Have to Offer
We offer free courses in relation to The Truth About Drugs campaign and
provide materials for people who may want to be a part of this campaign
and courses. Effective drug education resources include videos, booklets,
and other teaching aids that grab the attention of young people , keeping
them involved and leaving them informed. With this information, they can
make the decision to live drug-free.
What We Need
We would like to ask for donations to make this campaign and program more accessible as well as mobile no matter the location.
● We intend to reach out around Zimbabwe and for that, we would like to ask for any possible donations
● We also plan on making all the material provided available in all languages,including Shona and Ndebele
● Any donations can be sent to 70 Park Lane, Harare, Zimbabwe. Or email us at info@hiph.ac.zw for more information
Who We Offer It To
This program and campaign aim at reaching out to areas , schools, and
people heavily affected by drug abuse as well as those at high risk of drug
abuse. In Zimbabwe and outside of Zimbabwe. The course and programme
is FREE and available online as well.
Affected areas like Harare townships , urban areas, Bulawayo, most high
schools and universities. Our aim is to reach out to everyone no matter the
gender, age , financial status and sexuality as well as every area to
spread awareness and make a difference.
3 out of 5 parents in Zimbabwe are in need of rehab facilities that are
affordable, but that’s proving to be a problem as most rehab facilities are
expensive and based only in Harare, Ruwa, Goromonzi, Mutare and
Bulawayo, which makes them inaccessible for most people looking for help.
Most parents have resorted to sending their children affected by this to
prison. Theft is usually the offence at hand, so they can sustain their drug
intake, but some become too violent. Parents just opt to have them
arrested in the hopes that time in prison will help with the addiction and
have the drugs wear off as there won’t be any drugs in prison, but is this
really effective? Prisons have counseling, yes, but is it really effective to
sustain the addiction when they go back to the outside world? Once they
leave prison, it is rare for them to get follow-up services, which in most
cases causes a relapse, till it becomes a cycle. We want to change that.
We want to make an effective difference. We do not want it to end with just
awareness. We want to tackle the problem and put an end to it.
Our goal as the Harare Institute of Public Health, in collaboration with The
Drug-free world, is to prevent and put a stop to drug abuse. We want to
provide awareness not only to people who are affected by this but to
guardians, parents, and anyone who may be considering drugs. We want
to bring awareness and action to “one snort of cocaine won’t hurt”; We
want people to see that one snort of cocaine affects not only you but your
loved ones as well. It does not matter who you are , what you do, or where
you are from . We are here to show you that you matter and that you are
safe with us.
