Anti-Drug and Substance Abuse campaign

Anti-Drug and Substance Abuse campaign Anti-Drug and Substance Abuse campaign Drug and Substance Abuse PAZESA has embarked on an anti-Drug and Substance Abuse to educate the youths in rural areas of Chipata district of ZAMBIA about the dangers of drug and substance abuse; especially Marijuana, Tobacco, Betel nut and alcohol. 70% of all the youths aged 25years in Chiparamba area either abuse or have abused narcotic substance especially marijuana in chiparamba area of chipata district in Zambia. This practise has negative impacts on their lives AND HEALTH; such that very few have managed to finish high education, most youths indulge in juvenile deliquence, theft, violence and practice immoral behavior . Upon taking such drugs youths become careless about casual unprotected sex and as a result 65% are diagnosed HIV positive. To curb this moral degrading cultural practice PAZESA has embarked on an educational awareness program through: • Trainings in the dangers of drug abuse to health and facilitate antidrug abuse campaign positive behavior change • Anti-drug and substance abuse through educative theater. • Training and empowerment in viable and sustainable livelihood skills/activities. • Provision of alternative income generation activities for the youths who sale drugs for a living. We therefore appeal to the well wishers to help us with resources to continue and scale-up the project. If you are interested please contact us on pazesacommunity@yahoo.com Your logo will be spread on our billboard as the most prominent supporter, donor and partner for this project.

FOOD SECURITY FOR HOUSEHOLD POVERTY ALLEVIATION


PAZESA Horticultural Community has embarked on mitigating the socio-econonimical impact of HIVAIDS AND POVERTY through facilitation of irrigated food production techniques to GRAND MOTHERS' households keeping orphans and vulnerable children, youths and  women  in chiparamba area of Chipata District of Zambia
The organisation trains and empowers families to replicate their harvest through conservative irrigation farming and  horticulture. This has enabled 200 households to live sustainably with adquate household owned food security all year round, increased income through sale of green maize (off season) and vegetables. The families who used to eat once the other day are able to have 3 meals per day, build better houses, pay for school fees for their children and most interesting adopt some (desserted) orphans into their homes.
BUT HOW? 
This has been possible through financial, technical and material support from Firelight Foundation of California in the  USA, TIDES Foundation (USA) and the Global Giving
The organisation empowers families with the skills and resources (seeds and the money maker treaddle pumps) and urges the community to effectively utilise the ever neglected wetlands for food production.
Viable and sustainable integrated horticulture, FISH FARMING and irrigatition farming is the answer and sure weapon with which to effectively alleviate poverty and food insecurity in africa.
