Drug Prevention & Awareness
Drug abuse and addiction has been crippling the Philippines for years. According to the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) of the Philippines, admitted addicts have been as young as 12 years old.
​
The root of this problem often lies in a lack of educational attainment. Only a third of all drug users (27%) have reached high school, much less graduated or attended college.
​
Truthfully, our country suffers from a lack of proper drug education and awareness from a young age. Kabatapang aims to combat this by hosting free preventative webinars about drug use in the Philippines.
With the help of our speakers from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), we were able to successfully host drug prevention campaigns with local schools.
